Sorry about the delay in replying.

Yea, I was hoping for the widescreen too. I can run it in stretched mode but I prefer the 4:3 aspect ratio. Thanks though.

As for Bootcamp, it has been running very well so far. Apple provides the drivers for XP (weird huh?) to burn to an install disk. No need to hunt them down thankfully.

A few things like key layout can be corrected with a free keymapper utility listed in the Apple discussions forum.

There is one for right-click for the pad which is free.

It is just like running on a PC laptop with the option to run in OSX for other apps I like and use for work.

For frame rates, they seem pretty good for a laptop mobile Vid card. I am running full effects, particles, etc.

I used Fraps to get some snaps with FPS running to check out:

76FPS

43FPS

41FPS

42FPS

I tried to get some stuff you would see in heavy action.

It varies but not bad at all I guess. Certainly playable.

I'll try to upload a video on youtube or something in a while of it in action if I have time. All I seem to find there are Bootcamp videos of Oblivion and Half-Life 2.

S!
