I'm thinking the video card/CPU combo is going to approach the way we used to view dual-processing several years ago once 10.6 is released. That is to say, comments like this one from AppleInsider's "Apple retail keeps it green during fire sale" will need a reevaluation in a few months.

In particular, some resellers are offering discounts of $300 to $500 off the original sticker price of previous generation iMacs, who performance was recently shown to be on par with just-released models when strictly talking CPU performance.


Folks with Intel integrated aren't going to be happy. Well, unless they've got an extra $300-500 floating around in their bank accounts.
