<p>With that kind of hardware you should be able to play with balanced settings at around 20-40 fps.  That will vary depend on what you are doing and what other programs you have running in the background, of course.  Please let me know if you have any questions.</p>

<p>Thanks for the response DanielJust thought I would update for those that are interested.I ended up with the following Mac Book Pro15-inch: 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo     4GB Memory320GB hard drive1NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics + GeForce 9600M graphicsInstalled windows 7 under bootcamp.I run Profit UI with the video setting set to Quality…. EQ2 runs very smooth and I get about 40fps in the guild hall.The only issue I am having is with Voice chat not working… I am still working on that.</p>

<p>I am glad to hear that it is working well for the most part.  Please keep in mind that there are some legitimate issues with the voice chat at the moment that could be causing the other problem you're experiencing.  If you try the basic trouble shooting steps without results then it may be best to wait for a fix.  There is a thread regarding the issue here:</p><p><a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=452990" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=452990</a></p>

<p>I've also run EQII on a Macbook pro (although older and slightly less configured than the system you reference).  My game experience was very playable. </p>

Do you experience any major slowdown on your system in intensive situations?</p>
