FSX on new 13-inch Aluminum Macbook

New Macbook has been released. Unlike previous white Macbook, new Macbook looks similar to Macbook Air, aluminum body. The price from 1.299USD (2.0GHz) and 1.599USD (2.4GHz) Intel Core 2 Duo CPU with 2GB memory and Geforce 9400 M.

product-aluminum-black More expensive than previous white Macbook not much difference in terms of CPU but the GPU is what makes new version expensive. Nvidia Geforce 9400M G is what makes Macbook (not only Macbook Pro) a huge graffic advantage as well as the capability of HD video.

IF anybody willing to play FSX on this Macbook, from what I can understand all specs about this new Macbook, I would strongly suggest upgrading memory to 4GB for 150USD extra as FSX is very much graffic demanding soft.

Already cnet has previewed how Apple Macbook (Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M) performs and the result is promising, although I doubt very much without upgrading to 4GM memory and installing Windows XP just for playing FSX with integrated mobile graffic card might not be reasonable but the only about capability is enough for basic fsx playing.

New Macbook Pro has 2 GPUs (Geforce 9400M and 9600GT) without any doubt, its a fsx playable machine.
