    So my old trustworthy MacBook Pro with 8600gt had to be replaced and now I have a shiny Unibody MBP with 9600gt (not the absolute latest though).
    The only problem is the old one had DDR3 and 9600 seems to still use DDR2.
    I haven't installed bootcamp yet and I'm thinking is it even worthwhile, as the only use I have for it is games.
    What kind of performance can I expect from thew setup, is it going to be much worse than the old one?
