i've looked on forums, faqs, guides , ancient dusty macintosh spellbooks. no clue grow fps rate more 1.

i've tried update graphic board (and funny part of story) ati company doesn't recognize existence of radeon 9700 "mobility", apple says 9700m equipped on rare models of powerbook , don't exist drivers third parts.

blizzard's technical forum didn't help

feel free ask me specification pb if can of in bringing light on our mac-psychodrama
 

your computer should better that. can't remember power settings in 10.3 check in system preferences , make sure power settings aren't set automatic or low.
