I know the 32Mb Video ram is new, but is the 7500 ATI card also different that the last ibook. I can't seem to find any specs on what graphic card was in the older book.

The previous ibooks had the following Graphics Support: "ATI Mobility Radeon with 16MB of SDRAM".

The Radeon Mobility is one generation older than the 7500. The previous TiBooks (before today) had 32MB Radeon Mobility 7500 chips, and the ones before those had Radeon Mobility 16 MB chips. So it seems like Apple is trying to keep the iBook one generation behind the TiBook.

Yes, the 7500 is much faster (2-3x based on benchmarks I've seen) than the radeon that's in the 2002 iBooks.

Actually, the previous gen Ti Books have the 32mb Radeon 7500.

Jaguar really depends on the video card now with Quartz Extreme, should be a nice boost!
