ibook 800mhz with 384mb can run unreal tournament 2003 demo at 20fps aproximetely with everything on and world detail set to highest, on 1024X800.

On the other hand 12" PB limps at 10fps with lowest settings at 800X600

Guys should go to www.macgamefiles.com and try it out on your ibook.

Be proud cheap ibook owners!

Sheesh. Doesn't sound too good. I would like to see some tests on other games of the iBooks versus the Powerbooks and all..

Unfortunately it seems you at least need a Radeon 7500 mobility to run UT2k3 at all well (no wonder it runs decently on the 800s). I tried it on my older 700 MHz iBook with the original Radeon Mobility chipset. That wasn't even worth trying. The thing might have DDR for video RAM, but the chip is just too slow and there's not enough video memory to hold all those textures, even when I tried pushing the resolution down to 320x240 by editing the config file.

I got less than that PB's 10fps.

You guys should see the game run on my Pismo 400. :-p
