ive got a good 17 hour flight coming up soon, so im in the same dilemma as well. Ive currently got Starcraft 2, Torchlight, Plant vs Zombies and Machinarium installed on my Mac Book Pro. Could anyone suggest any games that are mac compatible?
ive been using wireless for years and lag is not a problem at all. I upgraded to wireless N about a year ago from G and the speed and connection is a massive difference. I highly recommend you get the D-Link Xtreme N DWA 556 wireless adapter http://www.dlink.com.au/products/?pid=549
For everyone with high end nvidia cards and horrible physx performance, it sounds like there may be an issue with the game reverting to CPU for physx effects. To test it, go to our nvidia control panel, and at the top under the 3d settings pull down menu, select physx visual indicator. Then run the game and it will tell you whether physx is being done on the CPU or GPU.
Either way, go here to look at this and perhaps a possible fix (if this indeed a problem): http://forums.2kgames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79300

Yea tried that but Physx is still be run by the CPU even though in Nvidia Control Panel ive got my 8800GT selected as the Physx GPU. Glad to see its just a bug and not the Physx in Mafia 2 being unoptimized.
managed to get a decent frame rate with settings maxed but with AFx8 @1920x1200. However when i put Physx at low or medium my frame rate drops dramatically. I have an 8800GT for Physx so i was expecting to at least be able to run the game with Physx on medium. It looks as though Physx isn't optimized well at all in this game. Other than the Physx the game run really well and looks great.
