    Do any of you need a 512MB strip of DDR PC2700 memory for the older Powerbooks that are supported?

    > for now there is no 3D support for any R300 GPU so you'll have to wait
    > new graphics drivers (probably MorphOS 3.2) to have full 3D support.

    R300 3D drivers coming in MorphOS 3.2 has been confirmed by MorphOS Team member geit two weeks ago:

    Addendum:

    >> According to wiki some of the powerbooks have the older r200 video

    > Yes, those are the two latest ones of the four Titanium revisions.

    And while not directly related to the thread's topic, I can report that the iBooks equipped with the 9550 GPU work surprisingly well (especially considering the limited VRAM).
    I've put my own PowerBook project (to be assembled out of three donor machines) on the back burner thanks to this pleasant surprise.
