New iBook's Radeon 9550
One change in the new iBook generation is a newer graphics chip, which supports Core Image. With 32 MB VRAM, it certainly isn't a decent graphics card, but it's enough to choppily display the effect when adding a widget. (Other uses of Core Image are currently unknown.) ;)
Comments:
They don't list the ATI 9800 Pro either, but it does work (I'm using one now!). I don't know why they're so sketchy about the cards that support Core Image, and particularly strange is that they did list the 9800 Pro when the page was first created, but then removed it a few days later.

Some rumours have been that they are only showing the cards they sell / support - so maybe they just haven't updated the page yet...?
 
Then please add your post here... AFAIK it's actually supported. But as I posted, 32 MB VRAM isn't too much for what Core Image/Core Video actually would be used for... (Unless it's really just about the unneeded effect in Dashboard...)
