[QUOTE="JerrfyLube, post: 521282, member: 38450"] Dont expect stellar gaming performance out of the Macbook...plain and simple. Without a dedicated video card, it will never perform well in anything graphics intensive. You MIGHT get by with minimal settings on games that are several years old, but there again, if your going to drop nearly 1500 bucks on a laptop, id expect it to work for what you wanted it for. If you want to play games, shell out the extra 500 bucks and get the MBP...the dedicated video card makes all the games you listed run smoothly under vista. I can tell you from experience, all the games you listed ran like crap on a 2.0 macbook with 2GB of ram...and the new video cards arent THAT much better. [/QUOTE]
