    Hi
    I'm currently thinking of buying the Macbook Pro 13-inch, 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB Memory, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics.
    My question is: how well will it handle Red Alert 3 (mac os or windows boot camp) what kind of graphic setting should I expect for a playable game?
    Thanks in advance for your help and feedback

    Windows it should run fine. In OS X if EA did they same they did for the sims 3 it won't run that good.

    Well, I'm not sure the 9400M can handle RA3 very well. The 9600M GT had problems under Windows (bootcamp). I remember not being able to play native res (1440x900) with everything up.

    Instead, I think I had medium details with 1280x800.

    So I'm not liking 9400M's chances very much...
