I'm in a bit of a mess right now. I've been on the prowl for a good used 12" Powerbook G4 just in case I couldn't afford or didn't want a new 12" iBook - and I found one. Here are…

No, the difference wouldn't be that noticable between 1ghz and 1.33ghz but I don't really understand your issue. If the difference in price is slim, why not go for the fastest comp…
