2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor
3MB on-chip shared L2 cache
1066MHz frontside bus
8GB of 1066MHz DDR3
500 GB HDD

I don't necessarily want to run EVERYTHING at max settings, just games from like '05-'09 to the point where they won't lag or overload the computer....is it possible to game on this?

What's the graphics card?

You'll also probably want to set up a dual boot to Windows 7.

Thanks for the feedback...so if I were to dual boot with Windows 7, it would be able to actually run Windows games right? I wouldn't be limited to just the Mac versions of games?

That's right. You won't be limited to Starcraft so you're to go out and explore other options.
