AWESOME for MBP
So here is what I got on my MBP 2.2G - 2G - 200G 7K200 - 8600GT 128M - bootcamp 1.4 vista ultimate, same graphic settings applied for each game 1280*800, texture, model, partical etc. all high, DX 10 enabled, no FASS.
GEARS OF WAR: looks beautiful and runs smoothly. lose several frames when too many characters appear in the same time. But not a big deal. Already finished two difficulty levels.
CALL OF DUTY 4: looks beautiful and runs super fast. Never lose any frame, no freeze, nothing. Working on the second difficulty levels.
UNREAL 3 DEMO: looks beautiful and runs super fast. Unreal engine is amazing, looking forward to the offical release.
CRYSIS: looks awesome but runs like slide show🙁 ... My 4G ram is on his way to my door. Maybe it will be better then, maybe not. I will update the result after installing 4G ram.
I highly recommend vista for these games because all the eye candies require DX10 to show up. Good luck guys, enjoy!😎

Damn, I love GOW on my xbox 360, woulda been sweet to play on my MB. Oh well, playing 1 game doesn't justify $700 for me when I own a 24" iMac.
For those with an MBP, which version of the Nvidia graphic card drivers do you have to run Gears of War? Mine constantly crashes because I don't have the Forceware stuff it recommended after installation.
I know to go to www.laptopvideo2go.com, but I'm not sure which version to download and which modded INF I need to get.
Can anyone help me? I'm running XP via Boot Camp.
Thanks.
