  • Video card update for Powerbook G4

    Posted by Andy Kachor on March 27, 2007 at 12:43 am

    Hi, is there any way to update the video card on my powerbook G4 TiBook so I can use Motion 2. I have 1GHz, 1 GB RAM, and the install says my video card doesn’t meet the minimum requirements

    thanks

    Unfortunately no. When it comes to laptops, you’re locked into the graphics card that you chose when you got your system. This is still true with the current lineup of MBPs.

    Motion, like Aperture, is looking to that graphics card for some serious heavy lifting. If you really want to take advantage of what Motion can offer it really requires the one, two, three punch. Fast processor/s, lots of RAM and a good graphics card.

    I’m on my third 17″ laptop. Why? Motion!

    Take care.
