macbook gaming- several questions.. NEED HELP!

Here is what I have- 2.0 ghz core 2 1 gb macbook

Here is what I want to do- play the Sims 2, Counterstrike, Planetside, etc...

Here is my question- if I upgrade my macbook to 2 gb of ram and run leopard bootcamp with windows xp professional and run the games in windows, despite the graphics card, will i be able to play these games on reasonable settings and not run into alot of problems? if they made a 13" macbook pro, i'd be all over it, but i think the 15" is too big for me. Appreciate everyone's opinion.

c-strike will run ok (on medium-ish). not sure about planetside, but sims 2 will choke on higher settings. at this point the ram is not your bottleneck, your gpu is. going up to 1gb will do little for cstrike (looking at maybe +3fps at best), do a little more for sims2 (if playing on a large lot especially).. yet not as much as having a decent gpu in there.

All those games have been listed as working well on a Macbook at the proper settings. There should not be a problem running the games just don't expect for them to run on the uber high settings.
