    The current version of MSN:Mac does not support video chat. You will have to either use Boot Camp or Parallels/VMWare and run MSN in Windows. Either that or use aMSN, which might support video chatting.

    Do you guys know if the webcam on a MBP should work with AIM? I can't get it to work but it works with iChat.

    Don't use AIM, its outdated. Instead, use iChat with AIM to webcam :).

    Also, I have been connecting my MBPRO to my 20 inch dell, and it doesnt fit right now matter how I adjust the resolution...the MBPRO is 1400x900 wide and the dell is 1600 x 1200 regular....

    Is it MUCH easier and clearer on the cinemas? Can I BRING my macbook pro to apple store to have them connect it so I can see it work? I wanna KNOW before I drop 1700 that its smooth as silk.

    If you mean the resolution between the two screens aren't the same, that is completely normal because the Dell display has a different resolution. I'm not quite sure what you mean otherwise :).

    But no, you don't need to get a Cinema Display, any display out there should work fine with the MacBook Pro.
