Its at 640 x 480 res, but still... it looks great.

I'm surprised at the playability.

I played it on my Core Duo Mini at 800x600 and it was at least that smooth. It was 1024x768 with a lot happening on the screen where it got bad and I could not control the game. This is using XP. Not the Mac version of Doom III. If that dood is in OSX then that is impressive as the OSX version of DOOM III is not all that fast on any Mac.

It is running the OS X version, (see the start of the video, it's clearly OS X)

Wow, my g/f just got her macbook friday, I'll have to see if it can run GTA Vice city nicely...
That would rock, cause I'm looking to get one soon...

Yeah, I saw that after I posted my message. Then that is pretty good for the OSX version of DOOM III with a GMA-950.

I have not tried Vice City yet but will very soon. Will let you know how it runs.

GTAIII was quite nice.

I just tried it:

Runs really well! Highest resolution, really great draw distance, no noticeable slowdown...
