Any of y'all running Google Earth? How does it run? Does the lack of a dedicated video card make any difference compared to other models?

Runs great if you have broadband.

It actually runs faster on my MB than it does my PMG5 with 256MBVRAM :confused:

So that means the integrated graphics aren't an issue?

Cool!

Maybe it's a problem with the current beta version?

For me Google Earth 3 wouldn't run on my 400 Mhz Pismo with it's 8MB VRAM,
but Google Earth 4 (beta) runs pretty well, relatively speaking...

Perfectly. Very fast with no slowdowns. :D

On my MacBook, it takes 24 hours for the Earth on Google to complete one full rotation, showing just how incredible my MacBook performs in order to achieve such precision.
