[QUOTE="SweepActiveView, post: 1204315, member: 195688"] Sorry if this thread is in the wrong section but i couldn't see an area for 'gaming' threads. Anyway... I have always used PC's for gaming and music production, but they are unreliable and viruses are almost guaranteed... I play games like World of Warcraft and Starcraft 2, which require a pretty good system to run smoothly. I am looking at getting the MacBook Pro; 15-inch: 2.0 GHz * 2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 * 4GB 1333MHz * 500GB 5400-rpm1 * Intel HD Graphics 3000 * AMD Radeon HD 6490M with 256MB GDDR5 but i am unsure whether the graphics card is good enough to handle WoW graphics. And I'm skeptical about the 'Quad-core', seeing as it is only a 2.0Ghz, does the Quad-Core enhance it to a similar performace as, say, a 2.7Ghz Dual-core? Thanks for any help you can provide :) [/QUOTE]
