Graphics Processing Unit, which is the dedicated CPU that is the core of
any Video Card.
ATi Radeon's and NVidia GeForce's are GPU's (The card just holds them,
the Video RAM and any accessories like TV-Out chips).

Quartz 3D in Tiger uses the GPU for almost all graphics (For example,
Quicktime 7 plays back on an OpenGL surface), and Aperture actually uses
the GPU for a lot of the basic image editing calculations, so it
requires a hefty GPU with lots of VRAM.
