Gaming on a PC is great, but you shouldn’t even consider buying any game you had in mind before you figure out whether your system is up to snuff and meets the game’s minimum system requirements. Even if you're hesitant to open up your Mac, it's time to take the intrepid route, put on an antistatic wrist strap (Rosewill sells a quality unit for $5 on Newegg.com), open your Mac desktop. Your Mac’s physical Wi-Fi interface can either be connected to a Wi-Fi network or host its own network—it can only do one of these things at a time. This means you can’t be both connected to a Wi-Fi network and sharing that Wi-Fi network’s connection over Wi-Fi.

Notes

Power consumption data (watts) is measured from the wall power source and includes all power supply and system losses. Additional correction isn't needed.
CPU Max is defined as running a compute-intensive test application that maximizes processor usage and therefore power consumption.
These numbers reflect a 23°C (73.4°F) ambient running environment. Increased ambient temperatures require faster fan speeds which increases power consumption. At 35°C (95°F), 50W should be added to reflect increased power consumption.

Hi
I bought a macbook about six months ago and all was working fine. But within the last 2 weeks my mac gets very hot after just a 30 mins use. When i have a couple of applications, mainly itunes, skype and a computer game running, at the same time, the cooler goes nuts and gets very noisy because the mac is getting so hot. When iv been using the mac for 3-4 hours in a row the mac freezes and the rainbow colored symbol appears. The only option i have is to hit the power button and restart the mac.
My mac is on a stable surface(a normal working desk), so there air have no problem circle around. The games i play is between 2-5 years old so it shouldnt be a problem for this computer to run the games.
anyone who has a idea what the problem could be?
thanks for your time

Macbook white, Mac OS X (10.6.4)
