    I found this deal on ebay, a macbook pro for a reasonable price. The problem is, the seller doesn't say what type of video card he has on the macine, and he is asking me how to find that information on his laptop (Tiger OS).

    Does anyone know how to find that on a Tiger OS? I have no experience with that operating system.

    Ummm... that link you posted includes an X1600 and OSX 10.4 is listed as Tiger...? That answers your questions, right?

    The Macbook Pro has the x1600, and has never changed.

    Yea, the MacBook Pro always has had an X1600 of either 128 or 256MB dedicated memory.

    EDIT: oh wait, never mind, that link isnt the one you want to buy.

    Well yeah, I wanted to know where can the seller find how much there is memory on the video card, I thought some Macbook Pro laptops come with an integrated video card!

    I am used to windows, and I never used a mac before...

    So, how do you find out about that?

    The normal MacBook has an integrated gpu, but the macbook PRO has the x1600.

    If you want to play games, then try your best to get the 256mb version (all macbook pros have the x1600 and as of now they aren't overclocked!). Look at the price, if it's below the base (BASE price, not base high config) price, then it's probably the 128mb version.
