I'll make a few calls over the next few days about a RAM upgrade, then get it all up and running with Mac OS X 10.5. Not really concerned about the fact it's a previous model, or that it has a GMA950... i'm just stoked to have a machine with some heavy punch under the hood, and a good supported life ahead of it.

The integrated graphics isn't really a problem unless you do hardcore gaming.

On the RAM issue, though, I strongly recommend you max it out - Leopard likes RAM a lot! Even my 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo iMac with 1033MHz frontside bus runs faster in Leopard with maxed out RAM (4GB) than the default amount (2GB).
