No hardware graphics acceleration. No hardware OpenGL support. No hardware acceleration of QuickTime content. No DVD-Video playback support. : The Rage Pro hack makes QuickTime : videos work full-screen and full-frame. No, they don't work. Or more accurately, your mileage *will* vary. : Unfortunately, it's WS users : who're still left in the cold, as the hack doesn't work on WS. I have even more sympathy towards Wallstreet users. : Granted, no s/w DVD decoding on Lombard/Wallstreet, but I'm probably one : of the few who couldn't care less about that. Well, Lombard needs speedier hardware to decode DVDs in software. But hardware decoding beats out software decoding any day. I'm surprised that I still hear occasional complaints from TiBook owners with the occasional DVD skipping, yet another software issue. -- Eugene Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
