I've got an iBook 12" G4 1.2Ghz, bought in about March 2005, that I'd like to upgrade the GPU in. I just wanted to know,
1 - Is it possible to actually upgrade it
2 - If so, which cards will it support?
It's because I'd like a bit faster game performance and also to run Core Animation in Leopard (don't wanna miss that new screensaver  )

Unfortunately, it's completely impossible to do, thebiscuit. Laptops have their GPUs as chips on their motherboards instead of as separate cards, and there are also no expansion slots for such a purpose.

If you are desparate for a little extra speed, you could overclock the onboard video, but do your homework before you do so, if you cook the onboard video, your laptop is done.
