Next Generation iMacs and Mac Minis to Pack NVIDIA Chipsets

From World of Apple 19DEC08:

"A forum post on InsanelyMac.com reveals that buried within configuration files is evidence that the new iMac and Mac mini models will use NVIDIA chipsets.

The configuration files which can be found on the version of Mac OS X pre-installed on the latest Mac notebooks indicate that the NVIDIA MCP79 chipset could be chosen for use in the new iMac and Mac mini that could be revealed at the upcoming Macworld Expo.

The text strings can be found under System -> Library -> IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext -> Contents -> PlugIns -> ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext -> Contents -> Info.plist, and they refer to unreleased “MacMini3,1″ and “iMac9,1″ models.

The text strings from the configuration file read as follows:
Quote:
Desc-Key
CFG_MCP79
Description
Mini-FL-2008
model
Macmini3,1


Desc-Key
CFG_MCP79
Description
iMac-FL-2008
NoSLFM

model
iMac9,1
The NVIDIA MCP79 chipset is the same chip which is utilised in the current MacBook, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models."

This could mean big things for the nForce community. Does anyone which are the chipset kexts? If you do, PM me as I would like to get working on helping the MCP series chipsets to have SATA DVD Writing capabilities. Thanks.

EDIT: The quoted text from above:
Quote:
The text strings can be found under System -> Library -> IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext -> Contents -> PlugIns -> ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext -> Contents -> Info.plist
should be "... System -> Library -> Extensions -> IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext -> Contents -> PlugIns -> ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext -> Contents -> Info.plist" but I'm sure most of you figured that out by now.
