Yes, I do care about solid 3D support, to the point that I won't even consider running PPC due to the lack of such support. Fortunately the Linux x86 platform offers good performance at a low cost.

When it comes to PPC vs x86 as a Linux platform, it's a no-brainer - think about it, you take a $500 x86 box w/ nvidia video, install SuSE 9.2 pro, and you've got a killer machine that does OpenGL and has great multimedia and gaming performance, and easily outperforms a $2000 mac.

It's hard to ignore such stark contrast...
