[QUOTE="PrimeRib, post: 73220"] I'll try to run another test for you later today. In theory, changing the resolution from native to 800x600 should boost a few more FPS but it may be the 32Meg card video RAM limitation on the iBook itself. I'll try a few more low-end tests to improve performance and post results later today. As far as in town, the FPS was all over the place, running from 19FPS to 5FPS in some areas. IT was not consistent nor did it stabilize at any point in time. Then, when running around out of town, the FPS improved greatly, though it would still jump as high as 30FPS and dip as low as 18FPS, again, not remaining constant at any time. Although 5FPS sounds unplayable, because it was jumping all over the place (as high as 19FPS at times) it wasn't as bad as it would seem. I can say I would get annoyed if playing a long time, but for short bursts of WOW goodness, its fine for short periods of time. [/QUOTE]
