[QUOTE="Durtyrice, post: 221883"] Heres the deal. I'm in a computer graphics class and they require us to have our own mac laptop. At first I planned on getting a powerbook but I decided why not get the macbook and I'll be able to use bootcamp. Then I looked at the specs of the Macbook Pro and saw that they were quite nice. I thought why not replace (meaning selling my PC to fund the macbook pro) my midrange gaming pc desktop with the macbook pro. My question to you is. . .Will the Macbook pro preform as well as my current desktop with games running with bootcamp? My desktop setup is as follows: Athlon64 3500 1Gb 4200 DDR ram PNY 7600 GT (PCI-E) I'm sure the games running in OSX will run fine such as WoW, but I do enjoy playing games that are only on PC such as HL2, FEAR, and Oblivion. If it makes a difference as well I dont play at really high resolutions due to the fact that I play on a large HDTV at its native resolution size of 1280 x 768. Any advice/ information would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
