You left out the one piece of info that was really NEEDED: what video 
card do you have?

Assuming you meant that you have an iBook 800MHz, then you have a 32MB 
ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 AGP2x card. This is probably the second best 
portable video card available for notebooks, though perhaps there are 
PC notebooks out there with 64MB cards as standard (I doubt it).

Bottom line: gaming performance should be about as good as it gets on 
the Mac (apart from the towers, which obviously have both better video 
cards AND a spare processor to play with!).
