One of the questions that has been on everyone's minds since Apple announced their new laptops on Tuesday has been whether the improved NVIDIA graphics cards that Steve Jobs spent so much time discussing on stage would mean that Apple's newer laptops would make good gaming machines. We hit one snag in installation when the installer told us that there were not adequate permissions to continue, however, navigating to the Program folder in Windows and creating a new game folder to install into fixed the problem. A few notes on the video before you watch it: For some reason, the reflectiveness of the screen is more noticeable on video than in person. The odd yellow looking face and eyes appearing in the corner of the screen are from a painting on an easel that was behind me when I was filming, and I didn't notice it until I was reviewing the video.

Obsessable answers with a tentative yes. We installed Windows XP Professional on a 32GB partition on our new 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo powered MacBook with 2GBs of RAM.Also, any pixelation in the video is compression artifacts from the MPEG-4 Sanyo camera, iMovie editing, and compressing and uploading to YouTube. In person, there was no pixelation during game play, just a few jittery moments when I had the texture mapping graphics set to their highest and most detailed.The big question is: can the MacBook really handle the graphics required by graphic-intensive games built for PC gaming machines?Then, we installed Warhammer Online Age of Reckoning, a MMPORG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Game), that was released in September and has some very impressive graphics.
