Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this directly, but the early Dual USB iBooks with Rage graphics did not suffer from the GPU problems that the later Radeon models did. In fact, except for failing IBM hard drives, they are quite reliable.

Yep. I got two iBooks last year. The 500 had a dead HD and the 800 had the Radeon problem. The 500 works fine except the power connection is quite loose. If the psu connection moves a little it cuts the power to the iBook.
