Actually, it wouldn't much matter, unless we're talking about one of ATI's new chips with hardware H.264 decoding. So far, the H.264 decoding is done on the CPU.

Now I realize you didn't specifically mention H.264, but still: the VRAM is more than enough to handle 1920x1080 (the full HD resolution -- which btw the screen wouldn't even display anyway).

And while the 12" Powerbook does come with 512MB of RAM, half is in the memory slot (meaning that you would lose it when you upgrade),
Yeah, but I see them changing that. It'll probably come with 512 in the fixed slot, then options for 1 GB, 1.5 GB or 2.5 GB total.
