Is PowerBook/iBook good enough for...

[bazad]

I have no doubt that G4 PowerBook is good for the average user as well as iBook. How will these laptops handle the following tasks:

- Running remote desktop to Windows XP machine from Virtual PC 7
- Overall Virtual PC performance?
- Running remote GNOME X Windows session.
- Occasional Java development in Eclipse.

I have had reasonable performance using Eclipse for schoolwork on an iBook G3 800 MHz
