I'm not sure if you've caught this but Google Earth has a new beta out and I've been playing withit on my Core Duo Mac Mini. The graphic performance of which I've been very impressed with - if you have an older generation G4 (anything from the DP500, 733, 1Ghz or 1.24Ghz) you will be well served by getting the money together for one of these new Intel based Mini's.
Anyway back to the new version of Google Earth - its Universal and feels faster overall. Another interesting thing is that Google Earth appears to have updated images since the last time I played with it back in May. For example this Google Earth KML file showing Avoca Beach Heritage Villa's where we stay occasionally is much sharper than its predecessor- in fact good enough to find your way there!
The rest of the changes are improvements to the User Interface elements which appears to be aimed at getting the interface out of the way - overall I would say they've been successful. Enough from me though go get it and have a play!
