Don't see why not, nVidia is nVidia. Compiz runs fine on my Intel gfx chipset as well.

They should really look at upping the resolution on the non-17" models !

O, ok.. Being Apple and all I though that mac nvidia cards were made from the bones of dead babies sacrificed to the Jobs, ya know the i-babies

Probably because Apple bends over for Intel, and AMD owns ATI now.

It probably went down like.

Intel: "Hey, Steve Jobs, stop using ATI video cards"
Steve Jobs: "Yesa masa, righta waysa!" :popcorn:

Yea thats why the new iMac uses an ATI graphics card. Intel is way to happy with apple to get mad at them for this. They were the last remaining holdout for their main market.

Intel has supported Linux from start. So i wont say a anything bad about them, except that it is good to have AMD so that prices are kept low.
