Is there any reason that Leopard will run "better" or have better eye candy in a MBP than in the MB? Specifically, is there any reason to think that the graphics chip will make any kind of difference in Leopard? I know it does for 3D gaming, and Leopard isn't 3D gaming... or is it?

You could see a difference in some of the functions like Spaces which do use the GPU...... if you had multiple spaces with many open windows, you might see some stuttering with the GMA950 that the 8600M GT in a MBP wouldn't have any problems with.
 
The graphics card could very well make for better eye candy, depends on what kind of stuff 10.5 bring...guess we'll know more monday! :D
