Warhammer Online. Most CPU intensive game ever.

Running Vista and a Web Browser at the same time.

Yeah right... run Crysis or COD on a $1299 PC and it will stutter more than Mean D with 2/3 bottle of Zaya in him.

Actually my main complaint about my macbook is that it uses integrated video instead of a dedicated GPU. I don't play many games so it's not usually an issue, but it still bugs me from time to time.

Edit: I would also like to see the fps for the dell.

Just benched, for you

1920x1200 0xAA Enthusiast settings: 25.08FPS

Not bad, for a rig under $1K.

The Dell is there just to represent PC; it by no means represents my "liking" for Dell.

I did a simple test based on my activity monitor that I read about and it seems that over two thirds of the circle is yellow and red and I notice it is tough to run some applications with others.
So....I am ready to upgrade.

I checked out various places like Crucial, NewEgg, etc.
Seems around $59 gets me 4 GB.
Question I have is does it make a difference what brand the memory is?

There are definitely differences in quality and compatibility.

Crucial is a good bet as they offer guaranteed compatibility and a life time warranty.

Getting a matched pair also has it's benefits.
