be more specific with games and programs that you are going to use.
Running it in bootcamp will be the same as any PC with the same specs more or less.

Wow you replied realy quickly! Thankyou, umm well i'll be using "3DStudio Max, Blender, Director and Unreal Runtime Demo". I was just checking the CPU and GPU will be ok? in the higher end MBP im looking at the 17" with i7 (I've been saving for a LONG time lol!):]
Oh and i will be playing RTS games on it hopefully like starcraft 2 and medievel 2 total war (excuse the terrible spelling please)

I bought a MBP with core 2 Duo 2.8 last year and it`s really good when it comes to dealing with intense 3d rendering.
You won`t have any problems with 3ds Max. Although I would recommend upgrading RAM to 8 Gigs.
Also, my MBP`s glossy screen is annoying for doing color correction.
I`m selling it to get a 17" with matte screen.
