What's the difference between the Radeon 9200 in the ibook g4, and Gforce 5200 in the powerbook 12 inch, features and performance wise? I know in windows the 5200 supports Direct X 9, and the 9200 only supports in Direct X 8.1. But Direct X doesn't apply to the apple systems.

I spent alot of time looking for benchmark comparisons between those 2 and the mobile radeon 9600 thats in the 15 and 17 inch Pbooks but theres not really any out there...on either PC or mac. Theres a lack of mac benchmarks in general and laptop benchmarks are way broad because you have to take alot into account...

Hopefully someone can find some for us, I'm trying to decide between the ibooks and pbooks as well :)
