Here is the story.

basically, it looks like 29fps in 16 bit color is as good as it gets.

cardinale (sent in the benchmarks): post some framerates for 640x480!! My Wallstreet does about 2fps at 640x480....

I dont really understand that.

I have an ibook indigo (g3 366 w/ 192mb physical ram) and for quake 3 arena I get 30fps at 640x480x32.

Somethings not right in your tests. The ti should be much faster than my humble notebook.

800x600x16: 29 fps
800x600x32: 18.1 fps
1024x768x16: 20.4 fps
notice that the posted benchmarks in the article were for 800x600 and 1024x768. I would expect 640x480 to be much faster.

It's not surprising with only an 8mb Rage Mobility chip on the TiBook.

The Altivec update to Quake will breath some life into the TiBook, as well as, OS X.

I thought the Altivec plug-in for Quake wasn't released yet? Some issue with CodeWarrior not shipping it yet, so the code can't be compiled, so we don't have it - yet.
