my may 2007 macbook with the gma 950 plays 1080 with no problems either. i can even play games with no issues. the newest civilization works perfetly at full res as does anything from blizzard. i've never had a game run slowly with the graphics chip. the computer actually runs hotter with flash games than games i run from the hard drive (disk utility to partition for games). my sister and i compared cold boots with my macbook and her brand new acer with higher specs. i have a 25 second boot and hers takes 2.5 minutes to even show the desktop (still heavy processing). i think operating system matters more than hardware. until you get really high end hardware at least.
