Have you looked at the $700 trade in they are doing on old PB's at the moment? I believe that your model qualifies. However you have to upgrade to a 15" or 17" machine.

Key factors for purchasing a PowerBook G5 — #2
All of the above. It has to be a fast G5 (~1.6), with a nice form factor, reasonable battery life, OK price, and no heavier than 6 lbs for the 15" model.
I currently own a 1 GHz G…
Key factors for purchasing a PowerBook G5 — #3
I agree that they are all important, but for me, the form factor and weight are the most important. The 17" model is impossible to take on flights unless you always fly business, …

I would actually go so far as to say that the PowerBook can be as fast or faster in some circumstances, though not always.
Like KraziKid said, the L3 cache can sometimes be helpfu…
