[QUOTE="camnewyork, post: 601811, member: 49329"] Thanks for the reply. I am replying to my own message as I find information incase others have the same questions. I have read other forum information that backs your take on the graphics card update. From what I read (this is NOT from Apple itself) you can not buy any Nvidia 8800 GT, it needs to be Apple branded. Apple is charging about $70 more for a 8800 GT than street value for a generic so having to get it from Apple is not bad... The only problem is if you buy the upgrade kit standalone, it is a 5 to 7 week shipping delay. It looks like the card bundled with the computer does not cause a delay..... That makes my Amazon idea fall apart because they only sell the base graphics card model. Carl [/QUOTE]
