How to optimize gaming on a macbook pro using windows xp bootcamp?

I just got the macbook pro for work with 4 gb of ram, 2.66 ghz and I believe a 512 mb graphics card. I just installed Rainbow vegas 2 and Assasin's creed on the xp bootcamp and was wondering if there is anything i can do to boost the game's performance, i.e. I can't seem to find a nvidia utility (should I download one for the xp side?).

Thanks, I haven't actually tested the games out yet, but was wondering if I needed anything else before hand.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, yes I have installed all of the drivers. I will eventually build my own desktop but right now work gave me a pretty nice laptop. ONe quick question, how do I get my logitech usb mouse to work while in bootcamp? I'm pretty sure I installed all of the drivers. The mac mouse works.

Thanks

What model USB mouse is it? Is the computer simply not recognizing it?

Yah won't recognize it while in bootcamp side of partition. I have a logitech mouse. Maybe I'll go to logitech using the laptop mouse and then download something from logitech?

Okay going to download setpoint.exe on my mac side and then transfer over to the pc side. Just in case I can't get online on the XP side since I'm at the airport.

Okay that's what it was, I needed to locate the mouse model that I had and download the setpoint exe file for the bootcamp xp side. I couldn't believe it, played Rainbow Six Vegas 2 in full settings on my mac! Simply amazing.
