Did a search for this and can't find the answer.

Does the graphics chip make much difference for Garageband? (i.e. does it run nearly as well with the intergrated chip vs. a separate graphics chip?)

Depends on the exact scenario, but the bottleneck is usually CPU ... assuming you have a few tracks with several audio effects each.

I don't think the graphics chipset are going to make a very noticeable difference.
