how much is a computer like this??

[strigani]

@faanosoccerr Well about 3.5 years ago it costed about €2500, but now the €1749 15" MacBook Pro is a much faster and cheaper notebook. That's what you get with technology. Early adapters pay premium price for primium hardware..

does this game run on osx, or do u have to install windows through bootcamp?

[strigani]

@h3adshotdemon You don't need bootcamp, this game runs native in Mac OS X. But you get a better performance and more FPS in Windows.

All 15 inch MacBook pro's and even the older powerbooks have backlit keyboards

good,

just one question: are u running on bootcamp (windows) or running it on mac? I run it on mac and it runs poorly (I.m.o) and I have the macbook pro with the 9600m.

I wanna try it on the windows side because I think it should run better.

@WheresTheAnyKey1 I'm running Windows XP SP3, you shouldn't run this game in Mac OS X, you won't get out of the 'low-section'. Unfortunately this is what my MacBook Pro of almost 3,5 years old can do. But still, it doesn't run that bad.

Next week I'm getting the Mac Pro 2.8 Ghz 4-Core Xeon with 12GB ram, the Ati Radeon 5870 1GB DDR5 and I will install Win7 for games. Hope that will improve my workflow and gaming a bit ;-)

@strigani dang nice laptop you will get! i will try running it under windows 7 with my macbook. thanks :D

@WheresTheAnyKey1 Hey dude the new computer I'm getting is a 'Mac Pro', which is a big box ;-) Noway all that stuff would fit into a <1" housing lol.
