If you want a laptop, you'll need the Macbook Pro with NVIDIA 9600M.
If you want an iMac, the GT 130 is passable, but I'd definitely recommend the ATI card.
If you want a Mac Pro, get the ATI card.

I was a bit lazy to read the other comments, so I'm sorry if I'm repeating what someone has said already.
It all depends on what you need portability wise.
If you want the best of both worlds, get the 15" 2.4 or 2.66 MBP, as 15" is probably the maximum size you want to take for school, and the gaming performance is pretty awesome for such a laptop.
If you don't need the portability, an iMac would probably be best, as if I'm not mistaken, they are cheaper.
Now if you don't need the best performance out of your games, the alu 2.4 MacBook might be enough and much more portable than a Pro.

Hey there dude.
First off i'll give you my thoughts
If you are going for a laptop i would say anything past the Unibody macbook would be fine....Macbook pro if you want that larger screen and 2 graphic cards for better performance
If you want a Desktop... any of the iMacs would be fine. I would recommend 4GB
Cheers, hope this helps
Skype me if you need any advice
