Now that the Canadian dollar has reached a high, I've decided that it would be
wise to choose the 1.33 Ghz Rev C Powerbook, because that would give me
more of an edge for the light 3D Modeling I plan to do; as well, I plan to do
sparse gaming, some phootoshop editing, and emulation through Guest PC.
Any comments on this would be helpful.

If anyone had suggestyions for a wireless mouse, or something worth replacing
Guest PC For, let me know. Any configuaration changing suggestions would
also be helpful.

15" PowerBook would fit your needs better, and in either case more RAM.

I've got a Rev C 12" with almost the same specs as yours, and I chose that size for the portability. If you're not going to take it on the road much, I agree that the 15" might be better, but the 12" is certainly capable of everything you want to do. I've done my share of photo and video editing on mine.

15" has a 5400 rpm drive, 12" has 4200 rpm. The screen on the 15" is vastly superior. The 12" PB seems to have the exact same screen as the 12" iBook, i.e. not as sharp as the PB name would imply, with terrible field of vision both vertical and horizontal.

Your call...or, perhaps, your wallet's call?

I have a 12" PB, which I love, but for your uses, unless you really need portability, I agree that 15" is better -- higher res, faster HD, etc etc. Maybe consider getting a refurb 1.33 15" from the apple store? Not that much more than a new 12" really.
