| The only thinkg I think you might have to do is download the Windows drivers from ATI. I don't know if the video drivers that are created by Boot Camp have all of the features that the ATI graphics chipset on the MacBook Pro can support.

| Before you take it back.. I am assuming you have the one that has 1 gig of memory? and the 256mb graphics card in it? If so.. there are two possible problems as to why your game is running slow... 1. You need to max out the memory for the computer system. If you have maxed it out than there is the possiblity... that the drive in their is slow... 2. Laptop harddrives in general are slow... 5400rpms vs a standard Hard Drive for Apple/PC (Talking about Towers and desktops... now...) are usually at 7200 rpms or 10000.... What game are you trying to play? and what were you doing during the crashing... it could be a hardware issue.
