I've been looking at Mac again since I had an old iMac and iBook. I always liked how they just worked. I would like to have the option of playing a game on my laptop if I could.

I imagine they'd play okay. I've heard Supreme Commander is demanding, but I imagine the settings can be tweaked. Quake 4 should not be a problem. And certainly, games like WoW, Guild-Wars, LotR Online all have great performance on the MacBook Pro.

And yeah, the tweak guide is great ... I use it a lot (most recently for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - which I haven't loaded on my MBP, as it's pretty rough on my desktop).

i want to say yes on a whim, since the santa rosa mb pro can F.E.A.R. at high settings, a game which brings most systems to their knees. However, I have no hard evidence to back this claim up.

Good thread, I am just about to get the 17 inch MBP with 2 gigs of RAM and the 256 meg 8600. I was very curious if it would be able to keep up with m current loaded 9400 witht he 7900 256 meg card.

Judging purely on your 3dmark score v/s mine on the 9400 at 4131 with tweaked drivers, I would say it outta be similar in performance.

i have the same MBP.
I have never thought of running FEAR on it with bootcamp.
I should try it to see how impressive it could be.
