well I wouldn't try running doom3 on my laptop ;-) but it works fine on
my g4 1.5ghz. the 1.25gb of ram helped to reduce swapping. I just
started u win2k in a window and it starts about as fast (time wise,
feel) as on a 1ghz p3. no it's not quick but it's usable.
ok i just installed sysoftsandra 2004sp1
the system summary says it's a 698mhz pentiumpro with a processor rating
of 804mhz. not fast but usable YMMV.
so in summary, forget games on it (unless you maybe have a g5 or 2 but
it usable for the occasional win app.
