Hello,

I recently inherited a supposedly broken ibook G4 800 MHz (from my  
stepdaughter, who can afford a newer computer) and am thinking of  
installing YDL 6 on it. The machine actually works fine and has 640  
Mb of ram. My questions are:

Is there any video acceleration to speak of? It has a Radeon 9200 and  
most queries to the net return with the claim that there is no 3D  
acceleration. Is this still true? (I would probably skip it if so - I  
have enough annoyance with slow video on my PS3 linux system).

Is WIFI supported? (I have an airport extreme card).

If anyone has tried it, does it run well?

Thanks.
