(Apple) Upgrades Macbooks to Santa Rosa

The most significant upgrade to the company's 13-inch flagship notebook models is the eagerly-awaited (and much rumored) move to Santa Rosa architecture, bumping the chips from Intel GMA 950 up to Intel GMA X3100, a move that boasts 3X graphic improvements, though gamers looking to make the jump to Leopard will have to keep dreaming--these systems still won't be capable of running those high-end 3D games.
For those looking to spend a bit more, the 15- and 17-inch Macbook Pros can now be upgraded to 2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7600 processors, for $250.
The midrange and high end Macbooks, meanwhile, now feature 2.2 GHz Core 2 Duo T7500 processors.
The low-end Macbooks still feature CDRW combo drives--rather than the DVD burners that are now standard on most computers.
Apple bumped up its line of Macbooks this morning, forgoing the company's usual brand of Cupertino keynote fanfare.
The base model ($1,099) is getting the bump up to a 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 processor, with 800 FSB support.
Highend Macbooks ($1,499) still ship with 1GB of RAM.
