If they had a Macbook that could run Civ 4 without graphical lag for under $1,500 - I'd probably buy my first Apple product since my old ][e.
With boot camp, you're just running windows on the same hardware, so performance should not be a big problem. It's when you run windows virtually that performance suffers.

On the other hand, with future games, it will become a problem... but that's the same with all hardware. Half a year after you buy it, it's dated
