This will require a significant boost in the video card capability and likely RAM in the 3-4 range. Next jump will also be required for improved support of dictation and voice commands. If you have a laptop that is doing the job now - I would wait, until the next leap happens. Best guess on this likely late 2009 or 2010.

This one looks like a minimal upgrade, but still one that would be good for people that are on a Powerbook or 1st gen MBP. I'm personally waiting until they release a better video card, a stock 320GB (or higher) HDD, and a higher res on the 15" model.
