Okay for the macbooks I planned on playing some gaming but not intensely. whether it was the 2.0-2.4 ghz macbook could you play games such as warcraft 3 (dota) or the new upcoming starcraft 2 on regular graphics fine with good internet? For dota does anyone play dota on their macbooks and does it run smooth enough? And last question will your computer run slower if you have vista and mac os installed.

MacBook Pro, then yes (has the 8600). If it's just the MacBook which has integrated video, then no.

How does X3100 compare to discrete graphics? My family comp has X3100 and it handles the Vista Aero fine, but the 3D screensaver lags pretty badly.

If you want to hardcore game, get a pc. If you are used to the mac environment and want to game a little, get a macbook pro. If you want to play 2-3 year old games, get the other macbooks.

Dude, the X3100 is integrated. I have that on my 2.16GHz MacBook and Acer laptop, it sucks! You're lucky if you can play Age of Empires II and Midtown Madness 2 on high settings.
There is no way he can play those newer games.
