Hi guys,
So Tuesday I finally returned to the promised land of macs, for the first time since I was 13. I picked up a new macbook pro which is annoyingly "not yet shipped" STILL- but I'm super excited. I'm also excited because I'm replacing my ancient pc laptop, and so for the first time in years I'll be able to play computer games at a resolution higher than 640x480.
To summarize, I'm excited, but also a little scared; are there any guides on how a convert should go about figuring things out?
And most importantly, this bootcamp thing. How do I do it? I understand the basics, but once windows is installed, what do I do to optimize it for gaming? Any special tricks? Do I download video card drivers etc? Finally, once I load my games up, do I just go ahead and play, or is there tweaking I should do? In the interest of getting the best possible answers, the games I'm interested in playing are Galactic Civs II (which I would guess needs 0 optimization), and Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion. I picked up a 2.4 ghz, 7200 rpm, 2 gb ram mbp. Thanks so much guys; I tried searching but I didn't know what exactly to search for, so sorry if this is a repost. and I'm sure it is.
