macrumors Penryn
We don't really get viruses. Haven't had the need for a virus checker for over a year, although I have Virex 7.5 installed. Don't know why.
Anyway, games.......pretty crap on the Mac. Some games run decent on a Mac, but you don't buy a Mac to game, unfortunately.
Oh, and have a total of 768 MB of RAM on your iBook, and don't get your RAM from Apple. When I say this, I mean don't upgrade the RAM through the Apple iBook purchase page. Get it elsewhere......OWC, Newegg, or any other online place that sells decent RAM.
Get the 14" iBook if you have problems reading small text. I have a 12" PB and think it's great, and I really don't think the 12" screen makes it difficult to read text (most people have no problems with the 12" screen), but I don't have horrid eyesight. Anyway, the only benefit of the 14" is the physical size of the screen. Resolution is the same.
