Intel is future-proof, as PPC was killed off a few years back. They're unlikely to switch to other hardware.
If I'm not mistaken, Snow Leopard will not run on PowerPC processors.

With intell you have dual-core, yes it works quick and the prices are almost the same. SnowLeopard will make even more advantage of the dual-core.

Apple's refurbished store could be a good place?
And the OS is very easy, just pop the DVD in and go! Takes under an hour.
