    Surprisingly the MacBook handles Doom 3 great! I just tested it earlier tonight and was shocked how well it performed. When I had the game check for optimal settings on my old iMac G5 (iSight) it would choose low quality yet on the MacBook it selected medium. I averaged 20-30fps on Medium at 800x500, No AA and shadows off, all other effects were turned on. This just goes to show you the GMA 950 isn't as bad people say it is. I'm going to test Quake 4 tomorrow, I'll post the results.
