    Hi all!,

    Do you ever think we will see the MacBook fitted with a GeForce 8500GT (mobile) or better?

    I know its in the MackBook Pro but thats rather expensive :(

    I really doubt it. Since the switch to Intel processors it is too easy for Apple to use Intel integrated graphics, they'll reserve dedicated graphics to their Pro line.

    They once used ATI graphic cards before the switch to Intel processors. I really doubt Nvidia will ever be seen on the mac.

    Umm... The Macbook Pros have an 8600GT in them. You can get an 8800GT, or a Quattro card in the Mac Pro.

    Sorry, must be a bit behind the times. I do not follow Mac configurations very close.
