hi every1

just wanted to post i first purchased an summer 07 MBP checked the chip, and it was TI, but gave it back since i was able to get a new one 2,4 for about the same price

the new MBP here is from 2nd half feb. 08 and has got the TI chip and working absolutly fine with the Motu ultralite.

i wouldnt count so much on the date, but better to get a late FEB 08 book

also if ya purchase through ebay its easy to ask the seller for doing the APPLEBUTTON - S trick fe check if its TI or not

good luck and dont panic
i am from germany, so who knows maybe the agere trash is spread more in US. ?

cheers
