Sez who? Apple's specs say it's a GeForce2 MX with 32 MB of DDR
SDRAM. That's not identical to what's in the towers (they don't have
DDR memory AFAIK) but it doesn't sound like a "mobility" version of
the GeForce2 either.
It wouldn't make much sense for Apple to use a mobility graphics chip
in this machine. They have plenty of cooling capacity since they're
already using a hot CPU.
