[Ti] Reasons to NOT buy 15" 867 MHz or 1Ghz Titanium?

[Rod Duncan]

Been following the thread and many valid comments.

I have a 667 DVI combo drive with RAM upgraded to 768 Mb and the HD 
upgraded to a 5400 rpm 48 Gb. Kept the original 30 Gb and popped it 
into a portable external case. Recently, I purchased an external 
firewire case and a Pioneer 4X DVD drive for that capability. Do lots 
of video and find this machine great, if it doesn't drop frames it's 
fast enough for me. I had the original 400 Mhz Ti and the 
improvements from it to the 667 DVI are night and day. I'm going to 
spend a few hundred dollars next month (anniversary date) and get the 
extended Applecare.

I've always treated my Powerbooks with extra-ordinary respect so the 
Ti case isn't and hasn't been an issue, touch wood. However, the 
differences from the original Ti to the 667 DVI were substantial so 
I'm sure the current, latest and greatest to the AI series is 
continuing in that trend.

Personally,  I'm going to wait for the next... next generation with 
(hopefully) an IBM CPU  driving it faster AND MUCH cooler.

My less than 2¢.
