As far as gaming, I don't think a Powerbook, even with Linux installed will give you as much gaming choice as an M$ Window$ system.

Btw, the 12" Powerbook has an ATI R9700/64 GPU, so I don't think you can call ATI completely out.

I have an actual deskptop comp for gaming...

And the 12" powerbook actualy uses a GeForceFX-GO now

Oh, I was unaware you had a desktop rig for your gaming needs.

You are right, my mistake. Doh!

OSX is based off of UNIX, specifically the BSD flavour.

As far as drivers, ATI has made great improvments in this area. Personally, I would choose the Omega drivers for both ATI and Nvidia GPUs.

I think I want to go back to school, just for the discount percs.

Yea, i did think about that quite a bit when they just started offerng those upgrades, and I felt that $800++ was just way to much for that upgrade.
