It gets worse. That integrated GPU doesn't even have it's own dedicated video memory - vram. It steals the MacBook's system memory. This makes for slower video and helps bog down your system, especially for apps needing that memory, like Photoshop, Parallels and probably your CAD.

One of my big considerations for the longer term was if I wanted to
develop anything that involved serious graphics then I would want the
MBP graphics card for testing purposes at least. That includes playing
with Core Image and Core Animation in Leopard.

I do my CAD work on my PowerBook, thanks for the heads up about the
integrated graphics, I hadn't heard how slow they are!
