I've got a 667 DVI that I use 90% of the time attached to a 20" ACD. I'm just wondering if the NVIDIA GeForce FX Go 5200 found in the new 12" is a downgrade in terms of video performance to the ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 in my current machine.

The Go 5200 is about 2.5x faster than the 7500 in 3D apps and noticeably quicker in 2D. It's not a downgrade by any stretch of the imagination.

That's awesome news, thanks guys. I can replace my 667 DVI for very little cash out of pocket, and then get my G5 in a few months when dualies are on shelves.
