Hi Jonathan.
The genius's at the genius bar checked that nVidia issue for me when I brought mine in and it didn't have one of the defective cards---attached an external drive and booted from it. It had a app on it from nVidia that tests the card and saves a txt file to the desktop with specs and determination.
Wanna hear something really crazy though...my son was playing Club Penguin last night on it (yes..through the lines) and the display suddenly went back to normal. First normal day it's had in weeks! It USED to do that all the time...would be normal...go to lines and then back to normal after a random amount of time. Can only pray now that it stays normal--at least for a while.

Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Jeff

> Jeff, I don't have the exact answer you're seeking, but I want to mention that my MacBook, bought two weeks after they debuted, has lost its screen, keyboard, and touch pad functions, but still is operable with an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. I attached speakers and an external drive with all my music and use it at work next to my work computer. So if portability isn't a "must," you might go that direction.
