[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 463815, member: 24160"] Well, the 9550 was never anything but a low priced, low end card. Doubt you will find anyone that has that card and a MacBook that will run tests and post back how they are. So, have to go to the internet for info to make an educated guess. [B][URL="http://www.driverheaven.net/reviews/RadeonXpress/onboardgfx.htm"]Here[/URL][/B] is a graph and some tests comparing the ATI X800 XT (which will blow away your 9550) and the Radeon Xpress 200. It shows the Xpress 200 holding it's own not too bad against the X800. And [B][URL="http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2427"]here[/URL][/B] is some testing comparing the Xpress 200 to the Intel GMA 950 in the MacBook. The 950 has the same core frequency as the 9550, almost double the pixel rate, and 40% more memory bandwidth than the 9550. You can do some more google seraches for the 2 cards and then cross reference the results to end up with a fairly accurate picture of what you might be able to expect. And, according to my memory reading other's posts; when running OS X, the 950 will only use the 64MB it's set up for. If you boot into XP using Boot Camp I believe you have the ability to assign it a higher amount. [/QUOTE]
