video memory iMac

[JosephEsquivel]

I plan on getting a 20 in iMac when the new models come out, and if 256 Video memory isnt standard, would 128 be enough to play most games, like WoW smoothly?

Here is an iMac Core Duo with an ATI Radeon Mobility X1600 Gaming Benchmarks. It should give you a feel of what to expect with a 128MB graphics card. Of course the updated iMac will have a better graphics card, so expect better results than the benchmarks even.

slightly OT, but do we think the new iMacs' graphics card will support 30" dual link displays.

 

[DoFoT9]

they already do, kinda of... i.e. imac display plus one other display.... currently the imac only has one dvi-mini port... the gpu would most likely be able to handle 30, whether they actually let it is another story

mmnn thats what the rumor is, im personally hoping for something a lot more powerful but i doubt itl happen. 8600 it could be

I think the current iMacs use a dsktop chipset, IIRC. Hopefully they will continue with that, even if they underclock it.
