Hi there,
I'm planning on buying one of the new 17" macbook pros soon and i had heard that they play most PC games fine with a windows partition
I was just wondering how easily they would run and whether there are any major problems in the way. Especially with the separate more powerful nVidia graphics card which I think has to be to switched to specifically. Will I be able to "activate" it from the windows partition or select it in the mac and then switch to windows? I'm not expecting to be able to play the most demanding games on all the highest settings but it'd be nice to know if it will do games being released at the moment at a reasonable level.
Many thanks for any help...
