the 330M is a new GPU - basically any game will run on medium settings or better. 🙂

It worked on my old 2.53/9600 512MB MBP fine. Don't expect maxed out graphics, but it makes a very good stab at Medium.

It'll run better than the 9600GT, so you should be able to push some of the options up. Beyond that, dunno!

Turn AA off (as it's pointless at that resolution) and you'll be suprised.

Oh, if you're talking about Rome then you'll be able to max it out. Napoleon and Empire are the ones I was talking about 😉

TBH, I prefer Napoleon and Empire to the earlier titles, simply due to the missile weapons. The older games relied very much on melee, which generally dissolved in to a mess!
