    Does the 15" Macbook pro with 6750 gpu run cool in Bootcamp?

    Does the bottom get pretty warm or feel hot idle or only under load? Does it feel cool ever?

    Any info would help!

    I use Win7 on my MBP since July "When i bought it" It all works very well i have installed a 3rd party trackpad driver which is wonderful. The bottom gets hot while gaming and not when watching movies. I have Oced my 6750m and get game performance that exceeds that of a m14x.

    The new MBP's are also very tasty the 6750m MBP's are not only cheaper but also very well spec'd . But the new ones only have 512mb GPU and mine has a 1GB 6750m.

    Would a refurb of the old 6750m or a new one be a better purchase if they were the same price? I am not sure the extra gpu memory would be much of a factor and I am not sure if there was anything else that was changed in the update? I think the refurb one might have a faster hard drive also though...
