Hey guys!
I currently game (boot camped with Win 7 Pro) on my 2007 Santa Rosa MacBook Pro with these specs...
Core 2 Duo @ 2.4GHz
2GB DDR2 667MHz RAM
256MB GeForce 8600M GT
Now, the big question is this: I will primarily play TF2 and StarCraft 2 on whatever rig I build, and my MBP plays both of these games fine, albeit obviously without the best graphics/resolutions.
Is it worth it to build a gaming rig at the moment? How about a gaming laptop? I've read the recent article about gaming laptops, and how some people seem to be totally against them for some reason...?
If it IS worth it, do you guys think I could build an i7 rig for around $800? If not, I'll just upgrade my MBP to 4GB RAM and just play TF2/SC2 with decent settings.
