Fallout 3 on Mac
Is anyone running Fallout 3 on a Mac using Bootcamp. I was wondering if a new MacBook with the Nvidia 9400m chipset would be any good, or would it be best to get a Mac with a dedicated video card. Right now I'm running a MacBook 2.0 Core2Duo with 2 Gigs of RAM with the intel GMA950 video card and that video card is a hunk of junk for games.
MacBook 2.0 GHz Black, 2 Gigs of RAM, 320 Gig HD, Superdrive
iBook 12" 1.33 G4, 1.5 Gigs of RAM, 60 Gig HD, DVD/CD-RW
PS3 80 Gig MGS4 Limited Edition

It would run, but it wouldn't be pretty.
My advice is to ALWAYS go for the dedicated video card if you're even thinking about using your Mac for more than casual games.

As an aside -
I installed BootCamp on my 24" iMac 2.4 gHz just so I could play Fallout 3. But I suffer terrible motion sickness with games like that. FO3 made me so sick that five minutes of playing in the morning made me dizzy for the whole day.
It's so sad! So I removed my Windows partition and now I'm playing through Fallout 2 for the hundredth time.
