    Hi--I'm looking at the new MacBook Pro 15", and the only reason I'd go for the higher model is to get 512MB video RAM in the NVidia graphics processor (the lower model gets 256MB).

    I'll probably use my copy of Vista with it--do you think that the 512MB would get me better Parallels video performance than the 256MB NVidia RAM?

    Maybe with the 9400 and 9600 processors in the new MBP it really doesn't make much of a difference, but I wondered if anyone had any benchmarks.

    The problem currently not in Video chipset, but due to Video memory limit in VM 64 mb
