Hey Mac gurus!



Does anyone know for sure what the wireless chip in the new MacBooks (not Pro!) is? I just can't seem to find anywhere that's a hundred percent sure whether Apple have or have not slipped a sneaky 'n' standard chip in, and it will kind of dictate whether I buy one or not.



Cheers in advance!

    It's Broadcom's draft-n chip. You can be assured that if they are going to put those chips in computers they've released before the MacBook then the MacBook will have them too. iTv will have to use 802.11n wireless to give it that X-Factor that the Xbox 360 doesn't have. (please excuse the pun)

    Cool, thanks. Did you find out from someone who's whacked XP on one and got the driver details or something? I looked for that earlier, but can't find where anyone's done it yet...
