Can anyone comment on whether the standard 15” MacBook Pro with a 2.2 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, 4GB memory, 500 GB HD, and AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512MB graphics card would be sufficient to run 3dsMax 2012 ok, or would it be necessary(worthwhile) to pay the extra $400 for the 2.4GHz version also with 4GB memory, but 750GB HD and 1GB graphics card upgrade?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Can’t any macbook users offer a helpful hint on this question?
please?

MacBook “HP” would be best...;)

seriously,
doesn’t anyone out there have a comment on this?
i’m trying to make a decision on this and it would be great if someone, anyone, helped weigh in on some positive or negative aspect to one or the other apart from cost or simply go with the faster processor.  thanks again in advance if anyone can help with any advice.

I’m thinking that since you are not getting any serious answers (although doughboys answer made me smile) I would assume that people running MAX on a MacBook Pro are very few.

Wow, that just seems unreal.
In this day and age after decades, how there is still such a divide.
Incomprehensible.
