That is a pretty high end Mac. If you have been using a desktop/tower you could get a fairly good current Mac mini from e-bay for $400-$800 and use your existing Monitor and printer.

Linux would make whatever you have now be completely up to date and with current capabilities, even if it is a 32 bit system. Although I suspect that if it has win 7 it is more than likely 64 bit. I have made current up to date capable computers out of everything from a 2002 Emachine desktop and up. Laptops shine with Linux because of the much less resources needed.
