Here they are, the MacBook and MacBook Pro graphics benchmarks you’ve been waiting for. Our basic Mac-only benchmarks used in our dual review were great at showing how close the CPU performance was, but not great at illustrating the disparity between chunky-hunky 9600 GT and the comparatively weak integrated 9400M that we saw firsthand while playing Spore. With a little time, we’ve been able to:
• Install Windows XP and run 3D Mark
• Play a little Crysis—yeah, Crysis
• Get ahold of Adobe CS4 and run some rendering jobs
The conclusion? If you’re a serious gamer or work with graphics of any kind and you need an Apple laptop, you’re gonna want the MacBook Pro. Here are the raw numbers to prove it.

I like Linux, use it as the main OS on my Eeepc (dual booting win 7) but this would seem counter productive.
