    I have read the huge amount of info on this forum on the synthetic benchmark comparisons between the two 15.4" MBP versions, but I have seen basically no info on real game performance, like FPS and stuff. There is one thread with FPS on the 2.4 version, but I am interested in how the 2.2 stacks up. Any of you lucky MBP 2.2 owners out there wanna post some FPS screenies with some of the more recent graphics intensive games? Even better would be if we could see some comparisons between the models in terms of FPS.

    I'm pretty sure there is some older information if you go back and look for it.

    What games do you want? Let me know and I will see what I can do. I am in benchmarking mood anyway.

    CoH, Prey, COD2, FEAR, Medieval 2, anything that requires some good performance really. Thanks Wave.

    Bobz - I did see those thanks...they aren't as detailed, and there is stuff missing I'd like to see, but they are helpful.

    I ply Medieval 2 with everything on high except shadows and 2xAA and at 1440x900. It runs great even with huge armies. No benchmark I know of for that one so me saying it runs great will have to do sorry.

    Call of Duty 2 I just installed the mac version. Anybody know if i can benchmark it? It runs great at 1440x900 also. Fear I don't have. Can you benchmark with Fear Combat? I am done downloading and they send me a key but I dont think you can benchmark with Fear Combat. Anybody can help me?

    I can report that Prey plays with no slowdown @ 1440x900.
