I was wondering if windows videogames are well handled on a macbook pro. How much ram memory would you suggest to run pro evolution soccer, or stuff like that?

Thanks

The best way to play windows only games would be using bootcamp to install Windows. Then the computer will be just like a Windows machine.

If ti can play a particular game depends on the game and what type of hardware you have in the MacBook Pro. A dedicated graphics card would be good to have although some games work ok on the 9400 card ...

Give us more specs and you can get a more specific answer :)

Hi,
I have a macbook pro with 4gb ddr3 ram memory and an NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics. Would that work? And would it be better to install xp or win 7? (I'll be using windows for gaming only)


Thanks

Windows XP would be your best bet unless the game needs DirectX 10 support, in which case you will need Vista or higher. Don't install the RC of W7 as it is time limited.
