I'm wondering if anybody has attempted to run this game under Windows XP. Supposedly it's graphic intensive, so how well this game run on a Mac Mini?
For those of you who have tried it, what kind of monitor did you have and what resolution(s) did you use? _________________ Show off your throne!

I think it would chug along. Looking at the minimum specs on the game, the Intel Mac Mini has those requirements. But if you look at the recommended specs (which you should always go by for the best playing experience), it is much more than the Mini has (in the graphics area).

I have a PC that doesn't meet the requirements and the game works great at the resolution of 1280x1024 with anti alising off. _________________ www.TheRandomOne.co.uk - General random discussion

I've not tried it, but one thing to bear in mind is if it requires Hardware T+L on the graphics card (you can check the box to see) it won't work with the GMA950.
You can however run Tommti 3d Analyze which can force the game to think you have Hardware T+L and this normally solves the problem. I have tried it with Imperial Glory (before v1.1 which supports Intel Graphics cards) and Delta Force Black Hawk Down and they both run fine under £d Analyze and not at all without it.
One final word of advice with gaming on Dual Core processors is that sometimes there are timing issues under XP with the Dual Core Processors. With older games you may need to set the parity to one processor only or they'll jump and skip frames. |
