so they're not bothering to accelerate the graphics for the ibooks that they're currently selling? doesn't that seem a little ridiculous?

The problem with laptops is you are never going to get the same performance as on a desktop system, because you have to run off of a battery. They probably can't get the older graphics chips to do what they need anyway, so nothing will fix that.

People should expect that laptops will always be slower than desktop Macs ... you trade performance for portability. If you bought an iBook thinking it would be as fast as a G4, you didn't think it through enough.

If you could fit a highend graphics card in your iBook.. with the extra fan and all, you will still need a car battery to run it!
