Hi,
I'm a loooongtime PC user and I'm about to take a plunge into owning a Mac. I'm sorry to pull the newb question thread, but I've lurked here and a dozen other sites for weeks and can't quite intuit the answers to a last few questions.
I'm going to try and go total desktop replacement with a MacBook White. I know they just updated the specs, but I'm hoping someone has enough recent experience to know what I can expect. My plan is to use BootCamp and install either Vista or XP for pretty much just gaming. I'll definitely upgrade to 4GB RAM.
I know this thing won't be a serious graphics horse, but I'm not looking to have the latest and greatest sail (Can it run Crysis? Sorry - jk. The question seemed mandatory). I'm thinking just WOW, Team Fortress 2, etc. Will this system handle medium performance ok? (e.g., not fly on high settings, but not choke on low/medium) I know games coming out in the next couple years will probably make the 9400M cry, but if I like what I see in the next year, I'll undoubtedly go to a Pro within 18 months.
Couple other things: Can it output nicely to a larger monitor, like between 19-22"? And completely random, but does anyone know if the Airport/Airport Express can support a USB Hub so we can share more than 1 item to the network?
Thanks so much for your help in advance.
