I have had a 867, 1GHz, and 1.33GHz PB's (Don't ask) I just sold my 1.33GHz today and am back to the 867MHz and don't notice too much difference other than heat.
I went with the 867 powerbook. I bumped the RAM up to 768 and it works better than my 933 Ibook. I am happy that i did not go and spend 2K on a new powerbook.
The 867 really does run hot, surprisingly so. I'm tempted to sell mine, and buy one of the new iBooks to replace it... would get me more powerful or equivalent features, a cooler unit and a case that doesn't scratch so easily.

yeah, i've got a 867 12" and the 1Ghz has these improvements
mini DVI
usb 2.0
faster memory
more memory 256 MB built in vs. 128 MB
the 1Ghz and 1.33GHz are pretty much the same...

If you're talking about the 12"PB 867Mhz (revA) and the 12"PB 1Ghz (revB), don't bother about the speed, bother about heat.
Because the revA has an older type of processor it get's really hot. Scarry.
So if you can, get the 1Ghz.
Or get the 1.33Ghz, because that one also has more videomemory and standard airport extreme...
