[QUOTE="nukemm, post: 327390, member: 23903"] If you plan on dual-booting with Windows and play some games on the off time, I'd recommend the 2.33Ghz version as it comes with the beefiest video card Apple offers, the ATi Mobility Radeon X1600 with 256MB RAM, as opposed to 128MB RAM in the 2.16Ghz version. For reference, I have the 17" MBP (same specs as 15" 2.33Ghz) and running Half-Life 2 under Windows via BootCamp at 1680x1050 and high detail across the board, with 4x Anti-aliasing, I'm averaging near 100fps, dipping to the mid 50s or so in heavy fire situations. Battlefield 1942 runs great as well, along with a plethora of racing games. [/QUOTE]
