I guys, not too sure about the requirements, but I want to play this game on my MBP that was bought last year... the requirements are on here:

I doubt I can run it

You can run it, but not at the highest settings.

Why would you not be able to run it? Surely you can read the system requirements and compare that to the MBP?

I would not be able to understand or compare this to my MBP even if my life depended on it...

Processor: Athlon-64, Pentium 4 3.0GHz
Graphics: ATI Radeon X1300, NVIDIA GeForce 6800

Well, this should show how a MacBook Pro behaves with GRID:

Cool so I guess since I have 128 of vram I might have to lower the settings a little lower than the vids..

Well consider that you have two 2.2 GHz processors, so 4.4 GHz of processing power and 8600 is a bigger number than 6800... doesn't that seem like you'd meet those requirements?

ok cool thanks for explaining lol

No, that's like saing you have two outboards on your boat, each revving at 2200 RPM makes it rev at 4400 RPM. It doesn't.
