You can't change the chips because it's pattered to the logic board

sell ur 24-70 f2.8 n buy new mbp la!

That's sad indeed

Booo! hahahahaha.. that's my all around lens

Are there any MBP with Nvdia integrated?

Old models use nvidia.
All new mac models are using ati

If I'm not mistaken Western Digital (WD) came up with a 1TB 2.5" drive also, but I'm not sure if they cater to the Asian market. I'm scared 500GB will be full instantly from all my contents pretty soon after purchase :/

any reason why u must have an nvidia card? cuda?

@ Kernkraft400 , Actually i have never used more then 320 in all my laptops as i always have a 1tb external always hooked up and when im away from desk i rarely use the media files

as i mostly work with excell so difficult to judge but i do agree ultimate twek would be
SSD main drive
700 gb at optibay
2 x 4 gb1333
But i like my setup right now

500 gb momentus xt
2 x 4gb 1333
1 TB my studio external (at desk)
320gb in enclosure (ori apple drive)

I wonder why they don't offer an option for both

PhysX probably. Or because I'm complete noob when it comes to Ati gfx.
Mine's using the HD6490 right now.
How good does it handle for newer games in windows? (It's dual booted with Win7 btw)

I believe it's because the dispute between intel and nvidia last time.
Correct me if I'm wrong

i think the dispute was about nvidia chipsets, not GPUs. i think laaa ;P

btw the 1st gen MBP used ati radeon x1600. only the 2nd gen started to use nvidia 7600gt. now back to ati once again

Really? But Alienware is still using Intel with nvidia.

hmm.. still does my 6940 gives good performance for newer games?
I don't want to spend cash for an AW =.=

i think urs is 6490M not 6940

judge urself lah. http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD...0M.43843.0.html

Thanks mate!

Aww! Checked it. It's moderate only

The dispute between Intel and NVIDIA concerns the chipset, not GPU. Specifically NVIDIA's chipset above the Core 2 Duo, the i-family first gen. Intel bars NVIDIA from making Chipset for the i-family, among the main reason why NVIDIA decided to stop making chipsets altogether. The 320M is based on an NVIDIA design, which is why you could only get those with a core 2 duo.

If you are thinking of the 6490, what I read is that if you run it under Mac OS X, its fine. Performs okay for me playing Starcraft II at full res on a MBP 15". Not for hardcore like CoD or the like. The other thing to remember is that it may run hotter under Bootcamp Win 7.

just upgraded my hdd to ssd+hdd. im cruising.....

booting is faster.

128GB ssd
500GB WD hdd
8Gb ram

+ hotway 4x external drive bay for 3.5" hdd. (too bad its not firewire)

i wont be having space problem for a while.

What ssd did you use ?

did you diy or get someone to help you with it?

Nice setup. Almost same like mine..also using hotway 4X external drive bay.

@mikelanding

Any pictures of your current setup? And details about it.

Im using OCZ vertec 2

i just not in the mood for DIY, get Wei to do it all. also bought the optibay from him.

nice, max 8 gig for that only. to bad there are no firewire option for hotway casing.
