Exactly, how bad is the HD 3000?

I am a web admin and I plan on hooking the 2011 MBP 13" to a 27" cinema display.

I multitask heavily, having open DreamWeaver, PhotoShop, ScreenFlow (screen capturing software), FTP, up to 4 firefox windows, etc. All at once.

Will the GPU be able to handle that?

Thanks!

nope, you will need the 6750

Woah woah, not true at all. None of his use cases involve anything that requires a powerful GPU. He just needs a fast, multi-core processor, which is easy to find in the current MBP offerings.

I'm pretty sure Dolphin is pretty GPU intensive.
