Just a quick question, I have a 15" Aluminium Macbook Pro (2008 version) with NVidia 9600 GT. I've noticed when I play graphic intensive games like HAWX or Lost Remnant (on Windows of course) my Macbook becomes very very hot. I suppose as it is aluminium, heat dissipates fast that's why it's hot on the outside. But my concerns comes with graphic card burning out (or even components melting!) during an intensive gaming workout. Has anybody faced any problems so far? I'm worried about coming soon games like Assassins Creed 2 and Dragon Age: Origins. But right now I can play most games on full (although Sims 3 lag when zooming out dunno why tongue.gif). Other than that, I'm actually impressed with the Macbook Pro performance, it's like between mid and high class gaming laptop. Beats my home PC by miles smile.gif .
