appleinsider.com— Apple's next-generation iMacs and Mac minis will adopt the same NVIDIA chipset platform found at the heart of the company's most recent notebook overhaul, new findings confirm once over.

I'm sorry you have a Dell.I am jealous your rig has a better graphics chip though.It's also probably upgradable.Wait, why do I own a Mac?Because I love the OS.Wait...
No manufacturer is flawless, but I've always preferred ATi over NVIDIA. NVIDIA always so smugly makes proclamations and ends up eating its own words. Remember them saying they couldn't do HDR and AA at the same time without insane amounts of VRAM? Then ATi did it shortly after. Remember them saying a unified pipeline architecture wasn't a good idea when ATi did it? NVIDIA soon followed. I find ATi cards more reliable on the whole. IMHO it would have been much better if Apple went with ATi.
Age of Empires 2 will run great on such a machine!! Can't wait to get my hands on one of them!!!! Mean while I'm gonna kill some time playing GTA4 on my stupid PC with 9800GTX graphics card :(/S

"When you boot into Windows, your Mac hardware does not disappear.I know what you are getting at, and that is why buy a Mac if you boot into Windows?But that question is not complete.The only reason I have not deleted my 25gb Windows partition is because I like to play a few Windows games.Windows is a great games OS.For everything else, I use OSX.

Blackjack, your list is useless. These GPU's aren't tested in the same system. And yes, 3dmark scores are based on more than the GPU only.

If you don't want to wait for Apple to fix the problems on their new ones, just get the white MB.
