Hello all,

I'm thinking of buying a G4 iBook. I currently run Second Life on my PC and thought that any other users' experience of Second Life using a G4 iBook (I'm going to buy the new 12" version) would be a good guide to its 3D capabilities.

So any advice?

Thanks,

RP.

My bf has the G4 iBook and while it's okay for most stuff, the graphics on SL is very demanding. I haven't tried SL on it, but I will tonight and let you know. While I was selecting between the iBook and Powerbook, the 32 MB of Video Ram on the iBook seemed a little light. But maybe with everything turned down and a really fast connection, it could work.

The most successful software company in the world does a piss-poor job on all these points. Particularly the first three. Why do you expect Linden Labs to do any better?
Yes, it's true, I have a blog now!
