I've decided to invest in a Macbook once the new revisions come out this year, having been swayed by playing around on my Cousins pro. After some tactful use of Google I discovered that the integrated graphics chip of the current Macbook models fail at pretty much anything gaming related. The word on the street is the newer models use something called the GMA X4500, and after googling around a bit I still dont know if it will help me out at all. All I really want to play are RTS like Command and Conquer 3 and...maybe Diablo 3. Can some of the more Tech-Savvy people out there help me out if seeing wether this new chip or whatever will let me play those games? Or do I have to get a Dell?
