The predicted update came a couple of days later than I (and the Mac community in general) had expected, but everything I said this past Monday was spot on:
"The new 13-inch MacBooks now share the same Santa Rosa-based architecture as their professional cousins, the MacBook Pros, including an 800MHz frontside bus. They also sport Intel's GMA X3100 integrated graphics video chip."

Also I had stated that:
The new MacBooks GMA X3100 graphics chip is a LOT better since they have 144Mb's of video ram, as opposed to the only 64 Mb's that the previous MacBooks with GMA 950 graphics chips had! ;)
Here is the link to Apple U.S. online store which has all th ret of the specs for the new MacBooks:

MacBook prospects: keep your eyes open this Tuesday morning for a line revision with a MUCH better graphics system and an upgrade to Santa Rosa processors with the faster frontside bus. ;)
