Is there anyone who knows someplace online with a comparison of the Powerbook graphic cards over the past couple years, in regards to clock speed and features on the card? (Or is there someone who can share a brief summary?) I'm not looking for anything terribly tech-y, I'm molstly interest in speed differences and features (like FSAA, for example).

I'm looking at this primarily to see how the different cards open features in games, if that helps.

Thanks,
jmelrose

My suggestion to you would be to just check apple's product spec pages, write down the models of all the integrated graphics cards with vram amounts, and then head over to hardware review websites such as HardOCP or Tom's Hardware for reviews/comparisons of those very graphics chipsets. Just be sure you are looking at the 'mobility' editions and not the agp desktop cards, as there's quite a difference

Edit: Holy crap, can't believe I forgot to mention XLR8YourMac!
