Thanks AkleyMac.

I dont think this is a common problem because I can find two threads about it. Im not sure but I think I have this problem in most games with decent graphics. Are there any ways to manage the cpu load so it wont draw power from the battery?

What's the result if you leave the battery out while you run games in Windows?

It shuts down instantly

I bought a new battery because the battery health was very low so i needed one whether it would help the problem with games or not. It didnt help...
I am playing Half-Life 2 on all default settings 1400x900 and the battery still drains. Can anyone confirm that they are having the same problem with this game? Its a very common game so I find it hard to believe that everyone is having the same problem with the MBP because I cant find any posts about it.

Maybe installing Vista would solve the problem?

Thanks

did you find a solution to this. when I play any game as well I am getting the mac shutdown due to no battery life even when the system has been plugged in the entire time.

MBP 17"
2.6 Ghz
6 gig ram

I accept with information: Windows XP does NOT recognize the the MacBook is a portable and is running full bore in Boot Camp. One has to go into the windows Control Panel panes and find the settings to sleep the hard disk, dim the screen after a certain time when on battery.
