The laptop that I got has a fairly decent 3D support, using a 
Mach64-compatible chipset.  At least I think it does.  I'm not really that 
big into gaming, but all the OpenGL screensavers seem to work just fine. 
Certainly I don't think I'd get 100fps in Quake, but the graphics hardware 
seems to be good enough for at least full motion video, and that's enough 
for me.
