cracked the screen on my macbook and not 1/3rd of the screen is fucked. What are my options?
Carry on using it as normal? Sounds like you got away with it.

I'd buy another 4GB of system memory over the GPU upgrade. You'll notice that way more than you will notice the benefit of a faster graphics card in photoshop.

Finally biting the bullet and replacing my old PowerBook.
Bearing in mind it has a 1.67GHz G4 processor so anything will be faster than it, will I notice much difference between a 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, a 3.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, a 2.66GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 and a 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 processor setup?
And what are the benefits and drawbacks of those options?
3.06GHz / 3.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2.66GHz / 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel
It will mainly be used for Photoshop and Illustrator work. And fuk.

That was another question I meant to ask actually, is there much of a difference (and will I notice it) between the ATI Radeon HD 4670 256MB and the ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB?
I want to future-proof myself as much as possible.

If there's nothing actually wrong with it I'm sure you could get it running well again. I have 3 macs older than yours and they all run fine. Have you tried anything to diagnose/rectify the problems you're having? My gf's newish macs was running v slow so I told her to get Onyx and run all the maintenance/cleaning - did the trickā¦
Slightly pointless post, but my iMac G5 (4 years old) is about to die and i dont have the money to buy a new laptop, even with HE links
it takes fucking ages to load anything, can't stream shit and sounds like a harrier all the time.
