Hey everyone, I ordered an Intel MacBook Pro 2.4 Ghz with 4GB of ram. I want to be able to run boot camp on it so I can start playing some PC games. Now I heard that games like Bioshock (looks amazing, I'd buy a 360 for this) should run fine on a Vista or XP MacBook Pro, but should I update to a better graphics card? Is that even possible? Thank you so much! Btw, any other games a la mode to Bioshock that can be recommended? Many thanks!

Can't be done, especially not with an Apple product.

Sounds like you already have an 8600M GT, which is okay, and will play something like Bioshock fairly well. But you're not going to be able to upgrade it.

It has much more to do with it being a laptop than an Apple. Unless you're implying that you can't change the graphics card on a Mac Pro.
