I thought your dad bought your macbook for you.
He was going to, but then he said he would only buy me an Inspiron so I said forget it spam;

The GPU isn't comparable to other stuff you can buy on the market, but unless you're running shit like Crysis, it'll be good for at least a few years.

Or if you're using it as a workstation, like most people with a Mac Pro would, the GPU isn't enough.

Apparently not, since Photo, Audio, and Video editing works fine. Differences in DirectX and OpenGL, methinks? Like Lawlz said, you aren't going to be running Crysis on it.

Very, very computers come with good GPUs. You have to upgrade it, dumb shits. There are plenty of options from apple and it's upgradeable

This is coming from the idiot who brags about running OS X on his PC then insults it and says all macs have GMA 950s

yes it's upgradeable

But there are better things on the market than what even Apple lists there.

1.  7300GTs are worth $60, not $150.
2.  X1950s aren't worth $400 ($150 for the 7300 included in price +$250

And having 2x 7300s doesn't make SLi, Apple uses Intel chipsets, and only Nvidia Nforce chipsets support SLi.  So having multiple 7300s is only good for multi monitor set ups.

SLI doesn't really make that much of a difference

I'll agree with that.  Especially on a Mac when you aren't playing games anyway.  SLi isn't going to render your desktop any better.

No, it doesn't make a huge difference in gaming on Windows, either.

It does a little, but it doesn't double performance.

I think 1.5x performance is still almost unheard of for SLi.
