I know it's not much of a problem, but I recently purchased a refurbished MacBook Pro. It is the 2.2GHz model (Santa Rosa, etc. with 128MB VRAM). I recently started into the Apple Hardware Test and went to the profile tab. It claims that I have a 256MB of VRAM, which only happens on the middle-level MacBook Pro. I restarted realizing that I never checked this in System Profiler when I got the machine, but it claimed 128MB of VRAM. Why is there this inconsistency? Also, when the new firmware update came out for the MacBook Pros, the Software Update never picked it up, so I manually downloaded it. It said I did not need the update, but the version in System Profiler was not what support.apple.com claimed it would be after the firmware update. I'm confused as to why I would not "need" this update if I do not have the current firmware version, and why the Hardware Test would claim twice as much video RAM as actually existent. Any ideas?
