Games on Rage 128? Maybe Not.

As others have said...Unreal Tournament runs brilliantly (on OS 9) and looks awesome too. Playability wise, IMO, it's much better than the later editions.

Get it!

ATY Rage M6 = the first Mobility Radeon. A Radeon is essentially the Rage chipset with more bells and whistles. The PowerBook G4 in question has a Radeon, supports Quartz Extreme, and should have better 3D performance than the earlier Rage 128 models.

What's with the lack of Quartz Extreme on the RageM6? At least that's what System Profiler reports.

I would imagine a 667mhz PowerBook G4 should have Quartz enabled - I mean I guess I can't be sure since I don't own one. But both the Gigabit ethernet and DVI models are supposed to have Radeons, as indicated by the specs in the Gigabit user manual located here:

Can that really be disputed any more?

I used to play Quake 1 & 2 on my old G3 iMac under OS X, ran very well. Your Radeon will be a huge step up from that...

Warcraft 3 will run nice aswell.

Check out http://insidemacgames.com/ they have a huge list over games and most games that are made before 2005 will run pretty well.
