    The chips in the 15" one are currently used separately but may be used together with the new 10.6 OS, which will probably arrive sometime in the next few months - this OS likely won't affect the Windows side unless new Bootcamp drivers enable hybrid SLI.



    As for performance, the 9600M GT is 2-3x faster than the 9400M.

    Your choice will depends on what games you play. The 9400M plays a lot of quite high end games like bioshock but you have to drop the resolution to 800 x 600 if you keep the quality on high.



    The 9400M will not run Crysis at playable frame rates but the MBP will. The Macbook Pro is certainly more future proof for games.

    Being nice is highly overrated.

    And NOT growing up has served me quite well for forty-some years now... I don't see any reason to grow up NOW.



    Even after editing, your grasp of 4th-grade english grammar is atrocious. I'd normally ignore it, but you DID mention going to university...

    Thanks you right . To save future shock better to go with the MBP 15 IN .
