How could I turn my laptop into a gaming laptop?

Hi, I am currently using a 17" MacBook Pro (with a Windows XP Professional partition) and wanted to beef it up a little bit more for gaming. I don't wanna go out and spend a few hundred (if possible), but I want to be able to play games like Dragon Age: Origins and Fallout: New Vegas on the highest settings.


2.66 GHz; 4 gb RAM (2.72 GB specifically for Windows) ; NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT; Intel Core2 Duo CPU.. I'll provide any other information needed.


Thank you!|||Sorry mate, don't think it's possible. Upgrading a video card in a normal laptop is already hard and expensive enough. To do that in a highly specific laptop like MacBook Pros will be impossible. Even if it was possible, to get a good enough video card to play those games in highest settings into a laptop that's not meant for gaming would make it impossible.


The MacBook Pro already has a pretty nice video card. However, it's not meant to be upgraded or to run as a performance gaming machine. It's the downside of a mac :)|||well being a woman I cant say to much about it other than, install the latest flash, delete ALL that is unneeded for gaming (Microsoft word etc.) This will give you more memory to play with, probably one of those remotes that connect via usb to the laptop so you can have a joule stick to play with like on an xbox or play station, then don't cost much at all just have a look on ebay or something.





Then I assume just play away. best of luck|||Mac does not have a user-friendly upgrade policy. Opening your system voids the warranty. They basically only allow you to upgrade the memory in the machines.
