Hey everybody. I installed UT for OSX on both my machines, the 800mhz tibook with radeon 7500, and hte 1ghz 17" imac with geforce4. However, this is something I don't get: UT runs SIGNIFICANTLY better on the powerbook. WHY?!?!

The iMac is 200mhz faster, has TWICE as much video memory, and it's a geforce4, which is supposedly superior to the radeon 7500. I don't get it. Both machines have 512 megs of ram....

my only guess is the display???? The PB can run at fairly native res, whereas the 17" imac, with it's bigass display, cannot run a correct resolution.....

what do you guys think? Is there a way to modify the .ini file to accept the iMac's resolution?

I modded the .ini file to the iMac's native screen res and it runs MUCH NICER. 40-80fps, at 1440X900 high everything. Life is good.

PS: I also increased the cache to 64 megs
