My macbook pro has the infamous 8600GT, yea the one that blows up! With Apple doing that new thing with h.264 video will my macbook pro take advantage of it, or only the ones listed on the article. My Macbook Pro currently plays 1080p video on youtube and vimeo with out a hitch but it does get warm because it uses the CPU. Thanks
 
I would bet it's probably only the newer systems, and possibly the GeForce 9400M macs (2009 MBPs, mac minis, 2009-2010 Macbooks).

The 9400m is listed as being supported. The 8600GT is not listed. I'm not sure if it will be or not.
