The new/dedicated GPU in the new Macbooks (unibody and current white one) are good, but they still share memory with the system.
I grappled with this dilemma; I didn't want to pay more money and not get full usage of a dedicated GPU. So it was either 1) save money and get the macbook with the GMA X3100 or 2) get a macbook pro with a dedicated GPU.
I choose to save the money and got the $900 2.4ghz macbook that macconnection was selling a month ago w/no tax for me.
