Will Macbook ever get independent graphical memory?

[teflon]

Just like the others have said, macbook is a Consumer laptop, meaning it for the most part, will run Consumer applications. So iLife, firefox, ms office are probably the major ones, and maybe logic express/ final cut express type of software. It is not meant for hard core gamers, video production types and such. That's what the mbp is for. So for the purposes that its suppose to serve, and applications that its suppose to run, the integrated graphics does a great job.
I know some professionals also use mb because of their size and the fact that their work don't need great 3d performance, but that's just a nice extra on the side. In general, Apple didn't design the mb to be a professional's laptop. It's designed to be my mom type's laptop. And honestly, she doesn't even know what a graphic card is. It goes to show how little it matters to an average consumer.

Apple even has a page dedicated to games and suggests games that the MacBook and MacMini are capable of handling.

Didn't know about that - a handy little page to show people who insist that the MBs will have a job playing minesweeper.

It runs FCP (see http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=43717) and the Logic Pro very nicely as these type of apps are CPU intensive - as you say, the MB could be a good choice for pro (e.g. needing something very portable) as quite a few reviews have pointed out.
