I'm going to be getting a new MacBook Pro (2MB RAM) and I'm thinking about getting a 30" Cinema Display to go with it. I've seen the Radeon X1600 driving smaller displays with pretty impressive WoW framerates, 60-75 fps outdoors with all setting cranked up. But I wonder what pushing all those extra pixels on the 30" will do to performance. Anyone have this setup?
Depends what resolution you run it at I guess. You will be taxing it I imagine. Mind you, your 2MB of RAM will help you out!
IF your main motivation is to play WoW at full res with that monitor, it's not worth it. The graphics card on the MBP is nice, but it's still a mobile. The FPS is nice at lower resolutions but you will be SAD at the full 30" res...unless you want to invest in a Mac Pro
