Their "old" version, the ATI Rage Mobility pro, will run Java 3D apps. I

with a *lot* of textures, but it will work. (Everquest works well on these
things, for example).
Toshiba announced a laptop with the GeForce 2 last week. I don't have
the press release handy, but I saw it on businesswire.com and (I think) on
Slashdot.
