I would definitely avoid the PBs that are <1.5ghz. I think they finally got it right with the 1.5 ghz line. You are safe there. I have the very last 1.67 15" and had some issues early on with AirPort, which did get fixed with a software patch so you'd be fine with anything 1.5 and later.
Might also consider the very last iBook which was 1.42ghz. Same performance as a 1.5. Less dinero. The vram may not be as much as the PB, but at 64mb I think you'd still be fine. My 32mb vram iBook 900 does internet vid "okay"...so I know a 64 would rock. The 14" form factor of that last iBook is also awesome. I miss it as the 13.3 is a little small for my hands and my 15" is just a tad unwieldy. Maybe someday they'll make a 14" again.
