[QUOTE="Reid, post: 982281, member: 140404"] Hi, I just recently found out to operate bootcamp and installed the premium version of windows 7 64-bit. My mac is a new macbook pro with a 2.66 GHz processor. The reason for utilizing bootcamp on my mac was primarily for gaming. Some titles I was mainly looking forward to playing are Battlefield Bad Company 2, Diablo 3 (if blizzard ever releases the date), etc. It came to my attention that even after popping in the snow leopard disk when I booted up windows to install the drivers even small size games such as counter-strike source are running very sloppily even on low video quality. I went on nvidia's and downloaded the new driver version update for my 9400M and also changed my video settings on my video card to the highest quality settings available on overall quality. As far as the performance after these changes, it only helped a minute bit. I have gone as far as fixing registry key errors to try and boost performance of my games. By the way my disk partition for windows 7 does have enough memory as it has 70gb. If anyone has any idea as to what else I can do to try and improve the quality it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
