    Hi,

    does anyone knows if it is possible to run GTA IV with one of the new Macbook Pros?
    Or, how does a NVIDIA 7900 compares to the NVIDIA 9600M GT in gaming perfomance? Is a 9600M GT able to keep up?
    Thanks a lot! Can't wait to play GTA IV, but not sure if its possible with a macbook!?
    Phil

    I've got the 2.53 Macbook Pro, and I play Fallout 3 and Dead Space on native res (1440x400) with everything max, and they never dip under 30fps (cinema quality).

    I'm hoping GTA IV will be optimized as good as these new games out now.

    But bottom line, it will keep up.
