Apple TV Good To Go?

I haven't verified this yet, but according to Uneasysilence: AppleInsider is reporting that all the last minute graphic goofups with the (Apple)TV have been figured out and Apple has begun to ramp up manufacturing as early as today.

They quoted that NVIDIA was the source of the last month’s delay with what were explained were “quirky embedded video issues.”

Apple TV will drawn its graphics capabilities from NVIDIA’s G72M graphics chipset with 64MB DDR2 video memory — essentially the firm’s GeForce Go 7400 chip.

At the heart of Apple TV device is a 1.0GHz Pentium M-based Intel chip with 2MB of L2 cache (code-named “Crofton”), which will be under-clocked to run on a 350MHz bus. The device will also pack 256MB of non-upgradable 400MHz DDR2 main system memory, a 40GB 2.5-inch PATA hard disk drive, and a 802.11n capable wireless card.

Could this mean the wait is over?
