Hi all,

I've downloaded the demo of this game and am playing it on XP on my MacBook Pro w/Radeon X1600. It runs remarkably well at 800x600/960x720 (and looks like a high def game even at that res!) but I want to know if it is playable on the latest MacBook Pros at native screen resolution. Anyone tried it?

Should be; 8600M is quite a bit faster than X1600 Mobility.

It's faster but would the latest models be fast enough to play smoothly at 1440x900 with details cranked up high is the real question! Apparently Colin McRae DIRT which is based on the same game engine had problems with Geforce based MBPs.
