Windows 7 Beta - Unibody Macbook Pro - Gaming

Testing Windows 7 Beta on Unibody Macbook Pro. Left 4 Dead is the gaming example.

Unibody Macbook Pro
2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo
2GB 1066mhz DDR3
Geforce 9600GT 256MB
250GB 7200RPM 16MB Cache

Sorry for the crappy audio. I usually use a studio mic, but my other systems are down at the moment, so I used the camera mic. This was a freaking Canon SD800 IS.

Update:

Upgraded to 4GB of RAM
Installed the 64-bit RC version
Updated Nvidia drivers

Performance is even better than the beta. It still gets warm, but performs very close, if not better than XP (which is unfair since it had 2GB of ram at the time).

All in all, very solid. :)

by the way antialiasing doesnt do anything unless its on full, otherwise it just makes it lag so you might aswell turn it off, nice laptop though

actually, it makes an enormous difference even just on 2x.  I tend to run 4x if I can get away with it. As long as my frame rates are at least 45fps-60fps, I'm golden.

you hit the nail on the head with ignorance. Yours is a mushroom cloud, and it's obvious from your posts. Just keep on talking buddy. It's hilarious. You need better insults. Macfag isn't cutting it. Did you know I also have a home built Core i7 system running Windows 7! GASP!!!!!

@yourmotheris19 Mine can, I know the difference between 30 and 60, while 30 is smooth, 60 is smoother and I can see less lag.

At what point does FPS stop becoming noticeable? 40+?
