I guess this will be a little too less for compiz, but I dont really know. (my PB G4 has a radeon 9700, rv350 chip). But I have a Dell notebook with a 9000 mobility, rv250) and as I ran early versions of compiz it worked, but was a little laggy, so I had no real fun with it slowing down the system. If you can get your fingers on a 1,33 Ghz version, try that for more graphics power, its a perfect machine. ;) I youre not into gaming no normal user needs more. Used Powerbooks are unbelievable expensive, even my 5 year old PB (ebay: over 500 € still, you get a first class used PC notebook for that amount). The used Apple Notebooks seem to be a pretty good investment ;). greetz drz -- ------ gpg fp: 5518 8F74 B2A0 E91A 6FAD 8AC8 C02C 6C6F C899 DC65 Public Key: http://rizzux.org/drz.asc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
