Gaming

now, i did not buy the macbook for gaming... well not really. i bought it for uni, however me and my friends to enjoy a good game from time to time.
so, with bootcamp, i am able to play games in windows.

now... this is not without snags, as the graphics card in the macbook is not amazing, however it is decent.

despite some people telling me i have know hope of running some games, it has pulled it off and pulled it off nicely.

the following games can run very smoothly at high settings:

Counter Strike 1.6 (CS1.6)
Battlefield 1942
Halo
Starcraft
Mafia

some games had some issues:

Dawn of war DC.
worked full spec, but not so smooth, however on low to medium specs runs well and smooth. the problem is when there are alot of units on screen, but even then i havnt seen a computer run it smoothly yet... even my friends hard core desktop.

Painkiller
would not load on macbook, however with 3danalyzer, it was able to run. the weird thing was it lagged a bit with lots of enemies, but it didnt matter what settings i had the graphics on, even full spec it lagged just as much...?

GTA: San Andreas
ran realy well on medium settings, but a little sluggish full settings, i believe due to the smoke. graphics card doesnt quite have all the power for that. however on medium settings it looks great and runs fine! dam good game.

and so far there is only one game that doesnt want to run...
Battlefield 2.
graphics card was not supported, and so the drivers wernt up to scratch, and so it loads but then flashs a black screen then goes back to desktop...

however, try youtube, and you will see that it can play some new games damn well...
