If I remember correctly, up until the recent (last week or so) iMac announcement, the *entire* Mac lineup was nVidia. Which I thought was a strategic move by Apple to jumpstart OpenCL on GPUs (don't ask me if I think this is the right strategy or not, it was just what I though Apple was doing).

The new iMacs all ship with ATI GPUs, so clearly nVidia has lost at least a bit of the Mac market compared to last year.
