Re: DIY AMD + ATI vs MacBook Pro
I would go with the desktop because you have the option of upgrading parts, as you gain more money to throw at it, to make it better suited for gaming. If you don't intend to upgrade later, you would probably be better off with the macbook pro just because of the amount of memory.

Re: DIY AMD + ATI vs MacBook Pro
The desktop will likely be substantially better for gaming.

Re: DIY AMD + ATI vs MacBook Pro
I'd say Desktop.
In addition to what others have said, you will have a better selection of games available to you.

Re: DIY AMD + ATI vs MacBook Pro
Well considering the Desktop equivalent of the 9600GT-M is the 9500GT (clocked 10% higher for the core and 12% for shaders) can't beat the HD4650 in any benchmarks that I have seen I would have to say the Desktop by far is your best gaming rig.
