Where do you get these hacked drivers?

the site can be pretty confusing at first, just do a lot of reading, research etc. I like the DOX optimized drivers best.

Anyone with Windows 7 RC have some thoughts about gaming? As I type this on my old MBP, I'm installing the latest release candidate of 7 on my stock 2.4Ghz Uni-MB. Im hoping to get some solid playability out of CS:S, CoD 4, and maybe even Battlefield Heroes.

I'll post later tonight if i can get some games going under the new build.

I think I may start over (with Win XP again, rather than Win7), Which are the current recommended hacked drivers?

When I was running XP on my MB, I used the dox 185.20 I think it was and worked great.. now on Win7 I'm using dox 185.85 which were made for the Win7 64bit. Both OS ran my games perfectly, now I just want the UI of Win7 since I'm gaming much more in Windows..

I haven't played any of those 3 on my current Win 7 RC but I did play CSS and CoD4 when I had XP installed and they all ran great, CSS of course runs best native res basically all highs, CoD4 runs very well but with a few of the extras turned off and BF heroes runs fine on a intel x3100 w/ Vista so you should have NO problems there. Win7 is my fav though I see no loss in FPS in TF2 (a slightly more demanding engine than the CSS) and other games run just as well as they did in XP, plus you get the beauty of the new taskbar aka OSX dock hahah

I have a quick question. I, too, I want to get the new 13" white unibody MacBook but am worried that a comparable PC (looking at the Sony SR with the HD4570 which is superior to the 9400M) would blow the MacBook away...

Are you talking about MC207LL/A? That's the new 13" unibody in white plastic. The one I'm using is the second gen Macbook with the 2.0Ghz processors with the integrated graphics. My framerates are rather poor in Dalaran and sometimes have trouble getting to one spot to the next.

I'm guessing, that with the new processor's slight speed bump and the better graphics card, things will move better? I'm well aware that WoW is a processor intensive game as opposed to FPS-type games...

I really like the Mac but if the 9400M isn't that much of an improvement, I might as well move to the HD4570...
