i've been trying play diablo 3 beta on mbp, performance has been shaky @ best @ lowest settings. considering system specs should have no problem running sort of game, don't know why having many issues.

wondering if booting windows xp gaming performance. have experience whether gaming runs better in osx or windows on mbp?

have other recommendations how improve performance?

 

on older specs, i'd go windows xp have more mature video drivers. remember diablo iii still in beta, , isn't optomized card on os x.
