who's running XP/bootcamp on an Intel mac?

[BLINGMW]

Too bad they didn't make an Oregon Trail TV show too, that would have been much more enjoyable and educational for the kiddies than the Carmen Sandiego show.

Grueling pace!

[Jeff]

Oregon Trail was the shit. I know where there is a cherry Apple IIGS I'm sure I could get for you guys....cheap...Even has two big floppy drives

[BLINGMW]

BIG ONES!!

Ok, I've got it.

Definitive PROOF that you can play GREAT PC games on a VM platform. You can't deny it any more. This would work just as well on a Mac as it does on my Server.

So, without further ado:

(because Photobucket sucks, you might have to right click and zoom in a little to get *all* of the glorious detail.)

[BLINGMW]

interesting! That's WoW, right?

site never loaded for me, but regardless, I dont' know much about wOw but isn't it a RPG? So it will look good at what? 30 FPS? If I'm playing a fast paced racing sim and it only runs at 30 FPS, I'm going to throw whatever computer I'm using through the wall.

Look, you _might_ beable to do it, like I said before, but it will require MORE resources to play through a virtual machine than it would natively, resources that could be used to turn on more eye candy.

Chan, just use Bootcamp, thread end.

[CaptainHenreh]

Sure. Why not? I've never played WoW...

...

There are Grues in WoW...right?

[HAULN-SS]

looks like a Mud to me.

[CaptainHenreh]

You guys suck.

Go stand west of a white house. If you're lucky, you won't be eaten by a grue.

[BLINGMW]

wow really? If/when my comp REACHES 30 FPS, if even for a moment, I cheer! Below 12-15, then I start getting sad and lap times suffer.

I guess that's why you are shopping for a new computer .

[BLINGMW]

just in case anyone here is still talking about the actual topic, compy is waiting on my doorstep. Two days after ordering it. :thumbup:

(just to counter the horrible Dell story mentioned in another thread)

so now you will be putting it in your freezer in no time!

(just to reference the horrible Apple story mentioned in another thread)

[BLINGMW]

bah whatever. That laptop mobo had problems, no doubt. This one will be perfect. :wink:

Although I'm already looking at overclocking articles.... so we'll see how long it lasts.....

[Evan]

Im sure it will be perfect, because its a 965P motherboard made by Intel, just like in PCs

[BLINGMW]

Hey fine with me! :beer:

[Feersty]

OT: You guys don't know nothing about Lemonade Stand!

[BLINGMW]

in color? Damn, what a world.


BUGS IN THE SUGAR! hock:

[BLINGMW]

bahahaha so excellent. LFS with graphics topped out and 11 AI cars is holding 65-90 FPS and uses at most 50% of the processor! WHEEEEEE :lol: :bow:

[Mike]

bootcamp?
