And keep in mind that the iMacs are the "consumer" grade machines.  If you
look at iBooks versus Powerbooks the later usually are a generation of
processor ahead of the former (of course since they've run into the G4
wall it's not as pronounced a difference as it used to be).

And as for high-end software, WoW's already a Universal binary.  What more
do you need? :)
