if your asking if there has been any speculation of it, wouldn't it be better to do a search for it?
Then if there isn't you know your answer without wasting the space on the site ^_^.
And i can say from watching the site there is no speculation of it, and they wouldn't do it unless they upgraded the 15 to the mobility 9700 128MB and the 17 to the mobility 9800 128MB
even then the 12 would get a 9600 64MB in my opinion

Same thought here. Unless they go with a PCI-Express video chip- but that is unlikely before the Mactels arrive.

Oh come on lilstewart92, don't lose hope- better things could still come before then!
Yeah, I know exactly what the next card in the PowerBooks is going to be. But I'm not going to tell you.

Fine, be that way then.

Please no not again!!! They need to trash that old chip once and for all. The 12" POWERbook needs a modern high-end mobile chip with at least 128mb. The 15" and 17" should have at least 256mb.
Actually now that I think about it all the PowerBooks should have 256mb with optional 512mb.
ok... A powerbook with 256 mb would be amazing for final cut and stuff but a 512. I don't think so.aquajet said:Please no not again!!! They need to trash that old chip once and for all.
