So I was just looking through System Profiler today and discovered my 24" is reporting that the GPU is...
A GeForce 7600GT w/ 256MB VRAM.
I wonder how many others are seeing this?
That's the upgrade card for that computer... Apple's past policy has been to sell customized computers that fall into the refurb pool as the base stock model ... so people have reported getting more RAM, bigger HD's, and better video cards. So you got a nice early Christmas present from Apple. Enjoy!
I'll take that! And it only took me a week to discover it!
I had the same discovery on my 20" C2D. I found out that the video card was upgraded to 256MB AND to my even greater delight, I found out that the processor was upgraded to a 2.33GHz Processor (I almost cried at this point)...now if I can just get rid of this damn stuck pixel (though I dont' care nearly enough to have it fixed). I love you Apple.

With refurbs, you get what THEY paid for.
