Hi, OKay, so you don't have the iBook. Well with regards to the
motion part again, from looking at the Tech Specs on the Apple site
it states that the iBook has:
ATI Mobility Radeon 9550 with 32MB of dedicated DDR SDRAM
And again, looking at the tech specs on Motion - taken from the Apple
site it states:
One of the following graphics cards:
ATI Radeon X800 XT Mac Edition
ATI Radeon 9800 XT (R360)
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (R350)
ATI Radeon 9700 Pro (R300)
ATI Radeon 9600 XT (RV360)
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro (RV350)
ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 (RV M11)
ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 (RV M100
NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL (NV40)
NVIDIA GeForce Go5200 (NV34M)
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra (NV34)
NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT DDL
I don't see the iBook card within this list. If you look at the Tech
Specs for the Powerbook's you will see some of those cards listed.
The iBook is great, but its not a Pro laptop and Motion is part of
the Pro section. If you want Motion, you need a powerbook.
I understand also you don't want to do too many things with Motion
but it is a series resource hog. I have a Dual 2.7GHz G5, 2.5GB of
RAM and with the 6800 Ultra card, and its still not fast enough. I
dare not think about how slow it is going to be on even a powerbook.
Reading and comparing the tech specs listed on the Apple site is a
great way of seeing if a program will work on a particular mac, its
there to help in situations like this.
Hope this helps and have fun with the new mac, which ever one you get.

Ok thanks but that still doesn't help me.
I'm considering buying a new ibook to take on the road with me BUT...
I want to know if I can run quartz compositions with core image
filters at a decent speed
on it.
AND second off topic thing.... if i can run motion on it....
so the program doesn't help me as I don't have one of these, yet,
that I can test on...
