Hi all

I've run both 3d mark 06 and battlefield 2 now. Both run perfectly.


3dmark 06

I had to run at the default res of 1280x768 as I don't have the pro version to test it on.
The macbook pro scored 1535 3d marks , the cpu score was 1658

Please note: I have the 2.0ghz dual core mbp with 2gb of DDR2 and a X1600 256mb gfx card.









Then I installed battlefield two which ran very well. The fans kick in with heavy 3d work which is good to hear.









I took some vids of it in action:

So what is the point of buying a Mac now? They are just another Dell/HP/Mesh etc

They should now go the extra mile though and start selling MacOS for non Macs.

The point? The point is, as it has been since it was released, OSX

Once you have used it for a while you will loath to go back to windows..except for the few thigns OSX cannot do (a large selection of games for example).

Selling OSX for none-macs though, that would be a huge step for apple, at the moment if you want OSX reliably and legally you have to buy apple hardware, and I doubt that they will want to lose that advantage
