so I assumed that they need the bios provided by bootcamp.
Did things change?
hi Ottavio. i don't know if anything changed, but i did not install
BootCamp, and i got 3D acceleration working. the thing is, i realy don't
care about 3D accel or video performance. all i care about is the power
consumption of the video card. heck, i'd be happier with a 32MB or 64MB
on-board video card. few people need these ridiculous video cards (X1600,
8600M GT).
