hi guys, i just ordered the new macbook pro 2.2 and am thinking about getting into some games, i just have a few questions:

1. which would yield better quality gaming: playing a game made for mac or playing the same game made for windows w/ bootcamp?
2. how well will the cheapest mbp play games? (2.2 GHz)
3. I would like to play Elder Scrolls: Oblivion (boot camp) and Civilization IV (boot camp or mac). How well will the 2.2 mbp play these games?

1. It depends on the game.
2. If you have enough ram, very well.
3. Very well, if you have enough ram.

2gb is probably good enough.
