Peace.
Perhaps Intel Macs are different, but my 15" G4 1.5Ghz Powerbook doesn't play that well with 3D games. It's all right when the screen is relatively empty to reasonably full, but once you start piling up the units, you enter slideshow mode. I have 1 gig of ram and 64 megs of video ram. Luckily Starcraft is 2D.

How exactly is their graphics system "far superior?" I've never actually looked into it. What is the hardware difference that makes them so much better?
