Hi,

I am about to purchase the new Macbook Pro soon (the 15" 2.2Ghz version).
I am going to hook up the 27" Apple Display to it.
My question is, do you guys think it will be a problem for me to do a bit of gaming on the external display? in full resolution anyway? I'm just not sure if it will reduce performance.
I know it depends on which game it is, but I'm talking about games like Crysis 2 etc..

Thanks

Ugh, I bought one of those things. It's awful and terrible - awfully hard to use anything else, terribly addicting

Mine's not for gaming, but if you find that high rez is sluggish - well, you know what to do.

Lol, I had to reread that a couple of times until I got it
