My MacBook Pro is still "crashing" windows through Boot Camp whenever I try to play Everquest 2. It seems to me like a memory issue, as I've seen it on PCs. Is there anyway to determine if there is enough memory allocated to Windows? One would assume that it would use the same ammount as OSX, but stranger things have happened. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Just for reference:
Updated all software on both OSX and Windows
Downloaded Catalyst (through Windows) and tweaked graphics
Set the program's performance to high, lowering the graphics themselves.

When you run Boot Camp all hardware resources are used as if it were any other PC because the OS is running natively. I had a couple issues the first time I used Boot Camp that were fixed after I did a reinstall. If you have an hour or so and don't have too much work installed/saved already, you might want to delete and do a fresh install. It's a pain in the rear, but when all else fails . . .

No. I have tried other games that are graphic intensive (ie Fable, The Movies) and they work perfectly. I ried to go through Sony's Tech support but they seem intent on leading thier customers in circles. So, I'm getting rid of EQ2, thanks for help guys, partcularly in other threads.
