Is there any speculation in the pipeline to what kind of graphics card could be included in the G5 powerbook. I'm hoping that I'll be able to play World of Warcraft with some pretty decent framerates on mine .

My guess is Whatever ATI Is Up To, seeing as how the high-end PowerBooks tend to get whatever ATI's best happens to be at the time.

9700? Right. That's a chip on its way out, and I don't believe there was ever a Mobility version.

It all kinda depends on when the PB G5 design is frozen, and what is available at that time. Nobody here knows.

Let's hope it'll be the M12... if that isn't too far off in the future, that is.

Well, our next mobile product is M11, which isn�t too far off, which will deliver some exciting improvements over the current generation of chips. I almost fell on the floor when they told me what the next mobile chip after M11 had inside it.
from this interview.

Don't we all love corporate speak not saying anything specific?
