Mac Forums

I'm having to buy a MacBook Pro as a graphic design student. Because my PC is extremely old and weak, I would like the Mac to be strong enough to play some games (I'm a casual player, not hardcore) with higher graphic settings and no lag.

The MacBook Pro Specs:
Software - Mac OS X Snow Leopard + iLife ’11
Screen - 15 inch display
Processor - 2.66GHz Intel Core i7
Memory - 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB
Hard Drive - 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm
Graphics - NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512MB GDDR3 memory & Intel HD Graphics 256MB DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory

I can't afford a Mac and a gaming PC, so I'm trying to kill two birds with one stone...as much as possible. I know little about computer specs, so would this computer be able to run a game well? (For example, an mmorpg like Guild Wars or The Sims 3)

Thanks for your help!
