Refering to new computers:
All MacBook Pros have ATI/Nvidia graphics. The MacBook Standard has an intel 950GMA integerated chipset (BAD), which does not do anything 3D nicely.
As for desktops, if anyone wants to know:
Mac Mini - Always Intel Integrated 950GMA Chipset (BAD)
iMac - $999 model has Intel graphics (BAD) , the 2nd step up has ATI with 128Megs, then ATI with 256MB , and then NVIDIA with 256Megs
Mac Pro - Intel Xeon processor (Similar speed to a pentium, great for games), and a large selection of ATI and Nvidia graphics cards (NOTE: You can also install additional graphics cards in the machine once you recieve it, as it is a standard, full size PC box). NO INTEGRATED GRAPHICS.
Thats the whole explanation. If you need more, check the Apple store sight.
