Gaming on MBP C2D under BootCamp

[Copyrajter]

Just thought I'd share a clip I found on YouTube of a guy playing HL2 on his MBP

15", Core 2 Duo, 2.33 GHz, 2GB RAM, 120GB 5400RPM HD, ATI X1600 w/ 256MB, and Matte Screen. I used Bootcamp 1.1.2 to load Windows XP.

I'm pretty impressed.

Not that I'm much of a gamer, but at least I know I CAN play games if I want to.

Sweet.

The music in that vid was quite annoying.

what else is interesting is, is with a 2.16 and 128mb vram, I can play the games just as smoother at max res.

I play counter strike all of the time, I use ATItool and bump up the speeds a little bit, but its way smoother then I thought it would ever be.

As an added bonus, the cheap TN panels used in Apple's LCD have very quick response times

The first rev of MBPs could run HL2 flawlessly, so this isn't much of a surprise. This video would have been more seful if it showed Oblivion or FEAR framerates.
