...and too dumb to get off.
Will I be happy with a Macbook?
More specifically, will I be happy with the onboard x3100?
I currently have a souped up G4 QS, with an ATI 9800, 256mb, aftermarket-silenced video card. It also has an OWC 1.2 Ghz (tweaked to 1.33) processor card, an acard 6280m card (that allows large hard drives to be used), 1.5GB ram, an Alchemy tv card and USB 2.0 pci card...and a few extra fans...phew!
So, I am not a high end gamer, but I like Call of Duty and Ghost Recon, and would like to play more modern games (like CoD 2), and would also like to stream video and the like, which brings this monster to its knobbly old knees.
Does the x3100 blow the 9800 out of its shell and leave it shriveling in the hot sun?
And if it doesn't, does the massively more powerful processor of the Macbook make up for the deficiencies of the video card?
BTW, how much would you want if you sold the G4? Not, how much would you pay for it.
My bottom is sore...please help.
Thankyou
