The current MBPs with Nvidia 8600GT supports DirectX 10.

All the above is pie in the sky.Im waiting to upgrade my old girl (and my macbook pro)Until they release them why speculate you may be disapointed
With 256 or 512? xD
Only Apple can tell you that. But I would imagine the 256 to be on the base 15" model and 512 on the high end 15" and 17". No promises.
True, but its not called MacRumors for nothing!

True you got me on that one, but it might be like christmas you want a xbox 360 and end up with a pair of socks
The current MBPs can handle those games perfectly. Remember that it's the fastest Vista laptop!
Oh I meant via. boot camp
ie. I wonder when we'll get a MBP that can run those games well (via. boot camp or natively).ummm all you need is Vista on a current macbook pro.
XP will never support dx10
the 8600 GT is a fully dx 10 card

LMAO, i really hope your joking about the fastest vista laptop...
i would like to see the MBP try and hold a candle to the Sager 9262

Quad Core
4GB 800MHz ram
8800GTX in SLI
tripple HDD's in Raid 0
No. It requires too much power and produces WAY too much heat for the current 1" MBP chassis. Not physically possible in the current MBP's.
In its class (size/design wise) it is

According to some review sites DX10 isn't all what it cracks up to be. So I wouldn't soil your shorts yet over DX10. Maybe 2008 will be the turning point.
Crysis is a game that is very hard on even the fastest 8800 GTX video cards, even in SLi mode. Remember that A. Laptops aren't true gaming machines and B. the MBP might be able to play a lot of games out there, but don't think its going to be a top performer giving you 60+ fps.

Crysis is a laughing stock.
The only cool thing about this game is the graphics (and boy is it awesome) but you need some kind of futuristic supercomputer to play it with decent graphics and decent frames (and you need those frames if you want to not die). The game itself warrants that you buy your own Quadcore SLI 8800GT PC psychocomputer and I just find that silly for one freaking game. Games should be about gameplay and if the graphics follows along, so much the better. This is why COD4 is so much more playable.
I doubt you would be able to buy a MBP in the near future and actually play Crysis without getting annoyed that you're not getting decent graphics out of it.
Besides, dx9 gets better FPS than dx10 right?
Oh yeah, here's a funny reference.
