I would actually get one of the last PowerPCs. They've been using that processor for a good while now and have pretty much hammered out all the dents. My first Mac was a Performa 6200 which I think was made around the same time they had just started using the PowerPC processor and it was quite a buggy machine. That was partly due to OS 7 though. Anyway, my point is that the PowerPC processor is pretty much optimized for Macs while the Intel processor is unmapped territory, so to speak. I don't think Apple will have buggy computers or anything but I'm certain there'll be some issues for the at least the first year or two until they have it all figured out and perfected.
