is there anyone running windows XP on a macbook? if so can you check the memory allocated to the video card....

the reason i am wondering is b/c that might tell us weather apple has really locked the memory to 64 or not...

I have seen of a few threads here people saying windows will see 224mb on the 950... and it makes me wonder what windows will see on a macbook....

It's already been posted a few times, and you already said it yourself. It's 224 MB under Windows.

Even if I open a bazillion windows in OS X, System Profiler always says 64 MB.
