What you want to look at also depends on what you mean by "improved video". While the video in the early MacBooks was mostly good enough, the Intel integrated video is was never more than mostly adequate. (At least until the recent HD 3000 if what I read is correct.) I have an early 2008 white MacBook and I'm happy with it UNTIL I watch something that uses Flash video. At that point the fan noise usually becomes annoying due to the extra demand placed on the CPU. While I don't know that the discrete NVIDIA video used in later MacBooks would perform any better, I'd still suggest going that route if you can rather than getting an older MacBook which uses Intel's integrated video.
