All of those things open (all had to be open) and my Powerbook was running perfectly fine. My fan only came on once or twice as well. I seriously think I saved at least 30-60 minutes on the 2 hour project I was working on because of OS X/Expose.
The project involved opening many browser windows, terminal for uploading files and checking wikipedia quickly, 4 or 5 word documents, 3 excel spreadsheets, photoshopping 5 or 6 different graphics, working on an Access database in VPC7 and some other things. Navigating between windows and applications was so much easier than the last time I had a project like this (on a desktop PC 3ghz, 1gig ram).
I love my PB

Nice! But why are you using separate windows instead of tabs in Safari?

I have been a Mac user for years, but saw your thread, and I just bought the same model PowerBook at the Tiger launch party. Awaiting my 1GB RAM stick as we speak to make the RAM equal to yours. Glad to know what I will be able to do will all that extra RAM!
I love my PowerBook, too!

I rarely use tabs myself when browsing. As a new Mac user, i actually prefer expose to tabs, because I can see ALL of the page contents at a glance. Tabs don't seem a whole lot different than the task bar in windows. YUK!!

Exactly. I normally browse with the windows tabbed, but I knew I would be making heavy use of Expose along with side-by-side comparisons of figures on different websites, so separate windows was the way to go.

I had a 12" PB before that I used alongside a 17" monitor and I did not like it. I really prefer working on a single screen with Expose than on dual screens (with or without Expose).

Ok, I see and share your point. I just finished writing my thesis which is highly loaded with images and figures. Pretty much I had word, excel, DNASTAR, photoshop/illustrator, Preview, iPhoto, endnote, Vector NTI just for work plus mail, Safari, iTunes and Adium for messing around and enjoying breaks. The computer was 24/7 for 3 months. Not a single crash. Expose made my work flow so easy and fast even when I had 40+ windows/documents and so many applications open.
The amazing thing is that I own a 4 years old TiPB 400 loaded with 1 GB RAM with a 80 GB 5,400 rpm drive running Panther and the system never seemed to give up no matter what I asked for.
Multitasking and GUI features like expose in OS X are incredible and priceless.
