I have a very new macbook pro. intel i7, 4 gb ram, 512 mb Nvidia graphics card and Windows 7 32 bit installed under bootcamp and yet still, Fallout 3 runs under windows for about 10 minutes giving me the illusion that finally, i will be able to play it, but every time, it freezes or locks up (not crash) and forces me to the end the process. it stops responding. Does anybody have any solutions?? is it a lost cause??

That is not your computer's fault, but the game itself. Have you tried completely removing then reinstalling the game?

I would have thought that the nVidia chipset in your machine would be supported for Fallout 3 but it looks like it's not:

System Requirements It should still work though.

Go to the nVidia web site and download the latest drivers they have for Windows 7. If they don't list drivers for Windows 7, then download the latest for Vista. Also go to the Apple web site and download Boot Camp 3.1 update and install it. It has to be installed from Windows as it's a Windows executable file.
