9200, 9600, and 9800. 9800 can have 256 megs of VRAM!

And the budget 9200 has TV out and the "pro" 9200" has DVI.

Maybe Apple was waiting for this? haha. I hope!

if i may say: why would you need that much vram?

As somehow, you can always do with a little bit more.

Doom 3

trust me. I tried running the alpha on my GeForce4 Ti 4600 with "only" 128MB Ram, and it practically fills it up. Framerates maxed out at 20fps. I know it's a demo, but when the full stuff comes out (christmas supposedly) I bet you'll need at least GF4 or radeon 9000.

And ID Soft (makers of doom, quake, & wolf3D) are notoriuous for licencing their engine to game developers that wring even more textures into it (For instance "Alice" is writetn in the Quake3 engine, but takes the texturing to a whole new level. I can't wait to see what those guys can do with the Doom3 engine)
