Watch this space! When my brand new Mac Pro arrives next week I'll set up my FP241W (which is still in its box!) and do all the installations and let you know.:D

Hi 10e, I will be using Bootcamp. I think I read somewhere that I would need to install XP first and then Vista. Not too sure on that but need to check.

Thanks Serpico I most certainly will. Oh and I forgot to mention that I also bought a BenQ FP241W to to go with it! All should be up and running in about a week all being well.:D

Well I've now changed my mind and not decided to take the risk with the MBP. Given that I can buy a 2.8 ghZ MacPro Quad Core with an 8800GT for just short of £200 more than an MBP thats now the route I'm going to take. Thanks to everyone that posted here its been a big help.:) Cheers Flyman

Hi, Does anyone know if Windows XP Pro 64 Bit will work with the BenQ FP241W? Only I've just bought an FP241W which arrives in a few days and I need to add a version of Windows to my Mac but not too sure on which version to install :confused:

So I'm looking at getting a BenQ241W - Do you know if the internal scaler of that monitor is good enough to display COD4 at 1440x900?

Now I'm really confused :confused: Seroico posted this: So are you saying that I should leave the monitor at a resolution of 1920x1200 and change the game settings to 1440x900? :confused: Apologies for my stupidity here.:o

So if the max res on a 15"MBP is 1440 x 900 can that not be displayed on a 24" LCD at native size rather than scaled up to 1920 x 1200?

Hi Everyone, Thank you for all the input here. Sorry but I'm a bit confused with all the screen resolution stuff. :confused: Is there anyone with a MBP who could take a screen shot of a game at varying resolutions ie: 1920x1200, 1600x1200 and 1440x900 on a 24" monitor so I can get an idea...

Hi Moku, You're right about the RAM. I'll get mine from Crucial its so much cheaper! Might just stick with the standard 2.5 MBP and 250GB HD. I had no idea that they dropped in price quickly, I thought all Apple products held their price quite well - Perhaps I should get a MacPro instead...

Hi Serpico, For the time being I doubt I'll want to use VMWare or any other type of program of that kind. The only time I intend to go into Windows will be to game under Boot Camp. I'm looking at getting a BenQ FP241W and on that monitor is where I intend to do 99.9% of my web browsing...

Hi Everyone, I need to replace my PM G4 and I thought I'd replace it with new 15" MBP. The reason for this decision is that it will allow me to game, surf the web, edit photos etc and also allow me to get a dedicated gaming PC in about 12 months time! This leads me to ask just how exactly...

Thanks 10e, Thats good news as I've found some stock dated June 07!:)

Hi 10e, As I'm in the UK getting this monitor isn't a problem! Am I correct in saying that ideally I need to be looking for a manufacture date of June 07 onwards so I avoid the overscan and pixel mapping issues? What resolution do you play games at and have you tried COD4 yet?

Hi Everyone, Just a couple of questions re the FP241W. I'm in the process of buying one of the new Apple Mac Book Pro's and wondered how well it would play COD4 and BF2 with its NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT with 512MB using this monitor? Also are there any special cables I'd need to connect...
