Jadam is right. Today's PPC layout sucks for gaming in 3D. I don't need 3D on a PPC even on a gameboy 3D games (a la Half-Life) would suck.

I highly doubt that video card makers will come out with a 3D card for these devices. It's a productivity device and not a gameboy.

NVIDIA and ATI have been working on mobile 3D chips for atleast three years now.

The PC was supposed to be a productivity device way back when. Look where that has us now. Its not like you need a 400 mhz processor for much of anything "productive".

3d graphics are not always used in games that are 3 dimensional in gameplay. Think of the Contra game for PS2 or any of the side scrolling jet shooting games on the new systems.

I don't see why it should be too hard for nvidia to take, say, a Riva 128, fix a few glaring bugs and shrink it down to a .13u die size.
