I'm looking to grab a new G4 iBook and am wondering if there would be any difference between the 800mhz 12" or the 933mhz 14" in regards to game performance. Is it just the little 32mb 9200 holding them both back or would there be a difference at all due to the extra 15% of CPU performance? The stats in this review imply that any additional performance would be very welcome.

heh, and why the heck does the G4 iBook have a better video card than the G4 PowerBook? Actually, I know the answer to that... the PB is older.

But is there any word if they'll be updating the video card in the next few months or is that it until the G5 PowerBooks come out a year from now? I'd love to get a 12" 1ghz PowerBook but no way will I get one with that pos GeForce in it. And I want a G4 iBook but 800mhz is a bit low.
