[QUOTE="Abdiel, post: 329155, member: 11552"] When I busted the screen on my 12" Powerbook last summer I decided rather than to drop about $500 to repair it I'd just make it a "desktop" for my work office. Now I'm just about ready to buy what will most likely be a refurbished 2Ghz Intel Dual Core Mac Book. However, I was wondering. I'm thinking of putting a copy of Windows XP on it as well and I was wondering if this unit would have the horsepower to run older Windows games. I'm talking games 4 or more years older. I'm not really a computer gamer except for some old favorites and World of Warcraft (but I'm betting that if my 3 year old Thinkpad can run it then I shouldn't have a problem with a fairly new MacBook. Opinions please. [/QUOTE]
