suppose that the upcoming all-new Power Mac G5 includes a brand-new Apple graphics accelerator, and you can choose the card�s name, which one?

Thanks!

I'm going to move this to the lounge.
Reason: it's not technical in nature, and you could substitute G5 with anything and the whole thread would stay the same.

Surely it shouldnt have a name. If it's not going to be marketed in its own right, and is just a component part of the machine, why treat it any differently from any other anonymous component such as the power supply or the screen? Apple have had some success in reducing people's obsession with Mhz, now they could do it with graphics cards.

The iWTF.

Also comes in iWTF 128 Pro, but you still can't use Quartz Extreme at its best with it.
