Mathematica under OS X is worth the upgrade. Faster, more stable, etc. 
I've been using it since the public preview.  -- Yes it *is* a bit 
faster than the same version under OS 9 with the same hardware.

Personally, I like OS X a lot. Everything works better. The only thing I 
dip into Classic for is PhotoShop and that app should be carbonized next 
month.

Enjoy your new computer.
