Rosetta doesn't emulate drivers very well, so in the beginning Scanners 
and printers might not be working well.

I think your best choice for now is PowerPC, if a fluid workflow is 
required!
If you wan't to be worried, choose intel. The PPC should hold their own 
a few years.

(still find the Imac G5 20" 1.8Ghz plenty fast in PS)
