2011 MacBook Pro (384MB is the Minimum VRAM on the HD3000)
As with most reviews stating 384MB of VRAM for the Intel HD 3000 Graphics (Including AI's Review)...
The shipping configuration for the Early 2011 MacBook Pro w/4GB of memory will give you 384MB of VRAM. Install 8GB of memory and you will have 512MB of VRAM!
If you have 1500.00 laying around to purchase 16GB (8x2) you may be able to exceed the 512MB VRAM limit. OWC has this option available now. Going from a Mid 2010 MBP to the Early 2011 MBP, both 13" models, the HD 3000 is starting to exceed the capabilities of the 320M, at least with the supported games like Starcraft II.
