I wouldn't mind one of those in a new uMBP I tell ya :D

I was using apple store chat and they told me that there were external graphics cards tht go through the express card... Where do i get them and what is the performance like?

There are cheaper ways to carry around a portable oven.

as i posted in a different thread, they sell it a newegg too.

Who wants 20 minutes of battery life?

That is pretty expensive. I hope the price drops soon, since this seems to be the only new card that will be available from Nvidia for a while. There is also no mini display port so you can't make it work with the LED monitor.

Apple Store US you mean. Nothing in the EU!

settle down boys :D

Remember, guys, this is an excellent gaming card for dual-booting to windows, but the ATI cards have vastly superior performance in OSX's graphics systems like Core Image et al. The Apple pro applications and professional OpenGL applications perform much better with ATI cards even if you compare a much more powerful Nvidia card. At this least this has been the case in the recent past, I haven't heard of anything changing on this front. I think it has to do with Nvidia always crippling the OpenGL drivers of their Geforce cards to force pro OpenGL apps users to get a Pro Quadro card.

I've been looking for some increased graphics performance on my early '08 MP e.g. an upgrade for my 8800GT. I noticed this in the Apple store and called AppleCare to ask some questions. I'd be a bit hesitant about buying this yet as it's not listed as one of the supported cards for SL. After making it to tier 2 support, the guy put me on hold and rang up engineering and was told the list of cards on the SL page are only the ones they've tested so far and don't represent a final list of all compatible cards.

Can anyone tell me whether the Mac OS can take advantage of multiple video cards for improved video processing performance even if only one card is actually driving a monitor? I guess the other way of saying this is, can the Mac OS spread video intensive processing tasks across multiple cards if they are present for increased speed and performance?
