Just wanted to chime in since I play D3 on my macbook pro no problem. I've got the C2D model with the 8600m GT videocard. with full resolution it plays slightly above 30 sometimes drops to 15ish when i'm in HUGE mobs of monsters, but very playable with how i've got it.
All I did was run bootcamp and windows 7 for my pc game lovin experience. would this be a viable option for you? or is your macbook older and not quite as powerful?
Just trying to think outside the box for ya!
Cheers!

Your 8600M GT lets you play, anticipate his is actually a newer model where they went to GMA X300 integrated GPUS (which are very bad.)

If he had an Intel HD 3000 it should play on low though...

I never got that, why have newer models have LESS power? QQ
Also you won't need anything but Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor. It would affect the price ALOT if you could scrap some items from your little Dell, because if its recentish it might have a few parts you could use.

Yeah I know just about squat when it comes to newer macbooks. biggrin.gif

Sounds like I got the last of a good batch (for casual gaming anyway). Can never argue with a free mac... pc?
