MacBook's graphics capability - is there hope?

I'm a huge Unreal Tournament fan, and I've had my black MacBook (2.4 Ghz, 4 Gb RAM) for a little over a month now. I recently got the big idea of foolishly buying the PC version of UTIII (instead of waiting as MacSoft takes their sweet time to put out a port that costs more) to run on Bootcamp with Windows Vista Ultimate. It was only THEN that I did a little homework and became familiar with the MacBook's integrated graphics card. For those who are wondering if I'm a complete idiot, I got a MacBook in the first place because I am an incoming freshman in college and on a tight budget, which is why I didn't opt for MacBook Pro, and while school (not gaming) is top priority for my computer usage, I am definitely more than a casual gamer. I've read about the Asus XG Station, but I can't find information on pricing (if it's even out yet). Is that a practical solution to this issue? IS there a practical solution at all? Or should I expect to never be able to play the latest games if they are graphically demanding?

Lastly, I realize that this is probably a very tired, very exhausted, discussed-to-death topic for everyone here. So please, bear with me.
