Just got my long expected MBP (base model)
13"
2.4GHz
4GB
GT 320M

anxious to try out some games on it, so i set my eyes on COD4. Approximately at what performance level can I run it?
Is my 13" going to get over-heated and blow up?

Thanks for sharing any experience/suggestions!:D
 
If you Mac overheats, it will simply shut off and not start until it returns to a safe temperature.

I played COD4 on my OLD Aluminum MacBook 2.4ghz with the Nvidia GeForce 9400m on the medium-high settings, just turned off the Anti-aliasing.

It plays at exceptional framerates, smooth as. Turn off Anti-aliasing and turn everything to medium, good to go.

I believe somebody said a particular game, Quake 4 perhaps, played at TWICE the framerates on the new video card.
