    Does anyone play sims 3 on the new macbook or 13inch mbp? is it even playable? I've been wanting a mac for awhile now and since they have the free itouch till September i wanted to get it but not if you can't play sims3 on them.

    I have the 13in MBP, and I can play The Sims 3 on it fine. It's at native resolution under OS X with all details set to medium-high. It runs great.

    this gpu is quite powerful and will easily eat the sims 3 game.

    GPU for both is the same right? i kind of want to buy the mbp but its more expensive... if i can play on the white one i wouldnt mind getting it then they seem to be the same specs.

    Also does having 4GB help alot? or would i be fine with 2gb?

    You will be fine with 2gig Ram, but more ram is always good with mac machines.

    cheers ...
