Capable of handling driver issues, I'm just losing my patience with how it seems to waste gobs of my time.
You're correct on the gfx chip.
I've been having stability issues on my desktop that prevent me of late from using anything other than...get this...Windows XP. Everything else freezes in the install. I'd forgotten about wubi. I'll get my unix fix that way.
Make no mistake, I'm not comfortable with the control Apple exerts over the hardware and software.
EDIT: Btw, Windows 7 is very nice if you use windows on a regular basis. Very fast on my 14" Dell 1.4 GHz Celeron 1GB Radeon 9000.
