Types of upgrades a PowerBook G4 could get:
1) Faster CPU
2) Faster system bus with faster memory
3) Larger L2 cache
4) Ultra ATA 7200RPM drives on high-end
Types of upgrades a PowerBook G5 would most likely get:
1) Faster CPU
2) Faster system bus with faster memory
3) Larger L2 cache
4) SATA drives at 7200RPM
5) Replace 12" with 13" widescreen with resolution capable of 1280 x 854
As I was writing this I have come to the conclusion there is not much more Apple can do to improve the PowerBook line without getting the specs to the point where the headlines will read "Apple PowerBooks, now with a G5" when it actually does ship with a G5.
Even though the speed of the G4 is at 1.67GHz, Apple could put a 1.6GHz G5 in a PowerBook and it would not matter if the speed of the memory and system bus were raised.
