Shoot the right subject matter and no you'll never see a difference. Simply put if the tonal range of the scene fits within the capture range of the camera then all will be sweet however if the range exceeds that you will either clip the whites or blacks or both. I've done experiments too and even with my camera set on the lowest contrast setting the camera generated jpeg or tiff images don't hold a candle to a RAW conversion in when shooting a wide latitude scene. I expect it would be a lot more attractive to shoot RAW if you had a faster machine, before I upgraded my computer gear a year or so ago I was working on a 300MHz system, it was painfully slow, impractical really.
