the 128mb radeon 9700 will probably be standard or something. if not the same ones....
kinda hard to imagine them dumping a 256mb card into a laptop so soon, but u'll never know

1.5Ghz 15" Alluminum Powerbook, 1.5Gb RAM, 64mb VRAM

I would personally love to see a 256MB Nvidia 6800. That would be pushing it for a laptop. But you never know with Apple....

Yeah, a 256mb graphics card will only add heat issues to the powerbook. Definitely can see a 128mb though. The thing is, 128mb should have been the standard for powerbooks for at least the last couple of years. Why has apple always seemed to, well, suck when it came to vid card choices?

Intel Integrated Extreme Graphics™ with up to 128mb of shared memory.
It's going to be to save battery life, besides you guys all know that it's VERY capable!

yeah...you're right! I knew video card wasn't the right term but there was a 10-car pile-up somewhere in my brain earlier and couldn't think of the right one. Still though, 128 at least.
