It appears that the two newest chipsets (the ATI Rage Mobility 128 and the
Savage MX/Savage IX) both have decent 3D performance -- the game magazines
are reviewing them and they appear pretty decent (something like >40fps on
full-screen Quake3).

I don't particularly trust ATI's opengl implementations (bad past
experience, things have probably changed), so I've ordered a Savage-based
laptop (2 that I know of are the new Nec Versa and the Thinkpad T20).  My
expectation is that they'll do pretty well.

(Note:  I believe that the Rage Mobility 128 is far different than the
non-128 versions)

   Hope this helps.
