NOT Q3......not an even field.
The whole reason I reccomended a Blizzard title is because the games don't rely so heavily on grafix acceleration. Not to mention the strategy element. Q3 has distinct lamenesses: Just sit on an entry point and kill 'em as they come in. Lame. We need to establish a game both of you have that you're both skilled in that doesn't require much power from the machines. Hence Starcraft: it's old, popular, not really effected by which machines are used and set up through a public site. Arbitration and Witnessing could be fairly easy by inputting "neutral" players.

Re: NOT Q3......not an even field.
Umm..."Just sit on an entry point and kill 'em as they come in." That's called camping, lamers do it and no one with any actual skill does it. Quake 3 is a better way to find a superior. Kill or be killed. It's that simple. Starcraft is all fine and good(I love Warcraft more than Quake 3 actually) but to me...I just don't get the same feeling of "I OWNED YOU" from it.

********* you say.
Quake 3 is too reliant on frame rate. Warcraft would be better but it's harder to maintain game ballance than Starcraft. Unless we have a sponsor to host a LAN game (assuming you two are local to each other) there's no way to make two widely variant Macs play the same.
They threw me off the IOC because I was too picky. sheesh.

ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!
You all are right; you all win; whatever. BLAH! Unless we all wanted to get together for Q3 games just for fun some time, this thread is going in a totally pointless direction. Can we get back to the topic at hand which is rumors on the PowerBook G4?
Other rumor sites are increasingly suggesting that a brand new mobile card will make its way into the next generation of PowerBooks -- and by "new" I mean not the GeForce2Go that is in some PCs, but NVIDIA's next generation. Anyone else heard/seen anything on this?

Yes, you are right john123...
the new graphic card could be the "Quadro2Go" from Nvidia.

but I don't believe that, we can be lucky if there will be an 16MB GeForce2Go or Radeon (my opinion).

*More evidence for new TiBook*
There is some new evidence in favor of a new TiBook in September:
The price on the low-end model of the TiBook is now $1979 for academic institutions, down from the $2339 it's been for eons...the other two are now down to $2699 and $3147, respectively.
Big price drops, particularly in education markets, often signal new products on the way. Yay!

A load of crap... Kidding for u people who have no sarcasim.
So for a sake of a picture what will the new Powerbook have?
Specs's wise.

Ti prices dropping!
According to go2mac.com:
http://www.go2mac.com/story.lasso?newsID=8229
Apple is expected to drop its powerbook pretail rices $300-500 on Saturday.
Perhaps a New Ti2 at Seybold, and their trying to clear their current inventory?

Re: Full Potenial Resolution (ARE YOU CRAZY?!)
i don't konw about you but i'm blind, (well not legaly ^_^) and have a hard enough time with the current TiBook screen! i run my 19" monitor at 1152x870 for crying out loud!
i have to hand it to apple for sticking to a reasonable resolution for this long! but i can see it coming, they have already turned the iBook into something that i can no longer use. (without a lot of effort
)

)Re: Wow
lets get our defininition of upgrade right!
to me and a lot of people i know an upgrade is to exchange a componat of a machine for a better one. eg proccessor upgrade , or graphincs card upgraded or a sound card upgrade none of wich you can do on the power book!
otoh, the false upgrade that i think your refuring to is actuly a compleet system replacement, both of those have there advantages, namely a componant upgrade is a lot cheaper! where as you do get a little more bang for your buck with a system upgrade.

Anyway, the playstation 2 is a **** console. It has ****ed up the gaming industry, destroyed games developers etc
the playstation2 doesnt even have anti-aliasing, it is very hard to program for, it is overpriced, ugly, it has destroyed games developers, it breaks, it had to be recalled god knows how many times, it had a late launch, it had a **** launch, it will never have better graphics than its competitors (x-box, gamecube).
So it is a **** up.
considering all that, I would much rather spend a bit more cash for a pc.

Re: Re: Wow
Sorry, guy, but I don't think your delineation here is shared by all. Or even most, since I have spent the last three years actually working in computing services and all the technogeeks use the word "upgrade" to refer to both components and whole systems.
