Why on earth they'd put that POS graphics controller in the MacBook is anyone's guess. Shoot, my seven-year-old's $699 PC laptop has a better graphics controller than that.

I'm note sure who to be irritated with - the makers of Myst, GameTap or Apple. Probably a little of each.

The craptastic video controller in the MacBook is the main reason I wasn't even looking at that line; 64MB of shared SDRAM isn't going to play most games with intense graphics, like The Sims. I don't think most gamers would even consider a system using shared RAM. Myst has always been a very graphics-intense game, and I think to scale it back to that extent would probably impact the gaming experience. The MacBookPros have the same graphics memory that the Xbox 360s have. I think that's your answer right there. Keep in mind that I’m a gamer.
