I recently purchased a new 15" MB Pro with these specs:

Installed Size 4 GB / 8 GB (max)

Does my MB Pro using Bootcamp work for iRacing.com's specifications:

Hyperthreaded Intel CPU, AMD Athlon 64 CPU, or any dual-core CPU
128MB Pixel Shader 2.0 (ATI 9700Pro or nVidia 6600 or better); 256 MB Pixel Shader 3.0 (ATI X1600 or nVidia 6800 GT/GS or better) graphics adapter recommended
1 GB system RAM
3Gb free hard disk space

Or do I need to build a new computer, $500 is what I think I can convince the wife to let me use lol
1) Used for iRacing.com only
2) $400-$500 + tax/shipping
3) San Diego
4) CPU, RAM, graphics card, case, etc.
5) All I have is an old DELL GX280 which may help?
6) Don't know what overclocking is, should I for my budget?
7) 24in
8) Within the month
9) What features do you need - just enough to play iracing.com
10) No

That system should play iRacing. Probably wont be on the highest settings, but still playable.

Yeah, you should be fine playing that game on your macbook. What resolution is the screen on your macbook?

I cant see a $500 build being able to play that game any better than the macbook either to be honest. You should be fine on the macbook.
