IF you want a laptop to last now-a-days gaming wise, you really have to go the whole nine yards and get a 8800M...the performance difference is massive.

It's $500 to upgrade the graphics card, you get from 2.4 to 2.5ghz (6mb cache, so its really more than .1ghz difference), and jump from 200gb 5400rpm to 250gb 5400rpm. Also, if I do that, it's only $45 to get the upgrade from 250gb 5400rpm to 200gb 7200rpm.
Also, the video card for the Macbook (not pro) is "Intel GMA X3100 graphics processor with 144MB of DDR2 SDRAM shared with main memory".
