will it ever happen, or is it just wishful thinking. pretty much the only reason i dont own one now.

Highly, highly doubt it.

get a pc if you want specific hardware

hehe, we're in the same boat. Bought a laptop for my bro a while back, was going to get him a Macbook but the Inspiron had an 8400 so I got it instead. I would love to see some kind of dedicated card in the Macbook, but it's doubtful. Macbook is kind of the low-end mac notebook... so I don't think they'll do something like stick dedicated graphics in it. That spots probably reserved for the pro. Hopefully I'm wrong.

itll NEVER happen.
the MB is TOO MUCH like the pro already, given its got the same CPU as the base MBP, which i think is foolish. -

I highly doubt Apple would do something like this. They want to distinguish their two products. Otherwise the MB and the MBP would be too similar.
-
If anything, it would most likely have been included into the "13.3-inch MacBook Pro"...but with the MacBook Air, that certainly wasn't the case...so I wouldn't expect it now.
-
Personally, I would want it with one. I prefer the X3100.
-
I doubt that Apple would put a dedicated video card into the Macbook. It would require a pretty big internal redesign to accommodate the extra heat etc. Also a discrete video card is one of the major price point differences between the MB and the MBP.
Like Sam said if you're looking for a 13.3 inch Apple laptop with a dedicated video card you will most likely have to wait until they release a 13.3 inch MBP (which may or may not happen, so I wouldn't hold off purchasing something for it). -
stealthsniper96 What Was I Thinkin'?
Add me to the list of people who doubt it'll happen.

VistardDummed down for everyone , and now available in 18 versions, ahah...all the security nightmares of Vista, coupled along with all the R&D of OSX. get it, Vista-RD
yea, itll never happen. MB are a good entry level computer, and I would never want a Dedcard in them.
