Last night i upgraded from a 17" iMac G5 1.8 (rev.A) 
to a iMac 20" (Intel).  Same RAM (1G) on both systems.

First thought:  HOLY CRAP THIS IS FAST.  At *least* 2x as 
fast as the G5 on the stuff that I do, and compiles in
Terminal *fly* by like I'm on a fast Linux machine or 
something...

Rosetta seems to work fine so far for most things, and the
Intel port of FIrefox/OSX (beta) is *snappy*.  It feels like
Firefox on a PC (well, it is.. kinda.. ) 8-)
