I have a question ...
Hope you gurus can help me out
What if I run Windows Games on a Macbook Pro using Windows OSX
will it effect the performance of the macbook pro.
New bie here want to get a macbook pro but use a hem games on windows sometimes

you mean running games on windows (bootcamp) on a macbook pro? or running windows games in mac os x?

the former should be alright but the latter its not possible as windows game cannot run under mac os x because its a totally different platform

i mean former as in run under windows (boot camp)

if u run ur games and application in bootcamp
u will get the full performance from the mbp....
all the hardware u get in ur mbp, it works fully under bootcamp....

Cool !!! thanks to you guys for the answer .
I guess i will get a macbook pro then .

correction, it is possible to run (certain) windows games on OSX, made possible with transgaming (aka cider port) due to the x86 nature of the intel chips. This however is so laggy its not worth while. A good example would be C&C 3. It runs flawless even on vista (MBP 2.2) but lags like madon mac. (FYI the C&C on mac uses cider port transgaming)
