I have windows XP installed on my mac, No problems there, I installed a few games all work, but they seem to stall and lag worse then they did with the my old computer. And I'm not sure why because specs wise my mac has, more ram, better cpu, better graphics card (Intel GMA X3100 graphics processor with 144MB of DDR2 SDRAM shared with main memory) Is there something I have to tweak too get it to use the all the resources it can? I'm not sure...
Model Name: MacBook Model Identifier: MacBook3,1 Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Speed: 2 GHz (old computer 1.8 Ghz) Number Of Processors: 1 Total Number Of Cores: 2 L2 Cache: 4 MB Memory: 1 GB (Old Computer 512mb) Bus Speed: 800 MHz Sudden Motion Sensor: State: Enabled Old Video Card was 64mb Ati Radeon Video Card I installed 2 games and both have lower quality then what the old computer gave. (Rct 3 & Age Of Empires 3) --------------------  "The NHL is considered one of the four major professional sports leagues in the USA, along with Major League Baseball, the National Football League, and the National Basketball Association. The NHL fan base is also the most affluent and well educated of the four." Let's Go Penguins Conrail92's Custom Mortar Set. Here! |

QUOTE Old Video Card was 64mb Ati Radeon Video Card This would probably be better for fireworks? Laptops, especially macbooks aren't generally made for gaming at all. --------------------  |

Couldn't tell you for sure beyond being positive your drivers and DX9 are up to date. I have been able to run some games at very high settings without issues on my Mac Book Pro.

The drives are all up to date, I'll double check the Dx9.

I checked and I have the latest Dx9, and I have all up too date drivers...
Update: Ok, I found out theres a newer Driver for my Video Card, Do I install it in windows, or Leopard? Or both? (when I go too Intel.com there's only downloads for Windows OS's) This post has been edited by conrail92: Jan 16 2008, 12:47 AM -------------------- "The NHL is considered one of the four major professional sports leagues in the USA, along with Major League Baseball, the National Football League, and the National Basketball Association.

QUOTE Ok, I found out theres a newer Driver for my Video Card, Do I install it in windows, or Leopard? Or both? (when I go too Intel.com there's only downloads for Windows OS's) All updates for mac will be updated by Apple using "Software Update" it should run daily to check if you have any new updates. QUOTE I have been able to run some games at very high settings without issues on my Mac Book Pro. There is a major difference in the Macbook Pro graphics card and the Macbook, the Macbook Pro has a great graphics card, the macbook has adequate to run graphics applications, and not really games.
