Grand Theft Auto IV on a MacBook Aluminium on Windows Vista bootcamp

[txprodigy95]

and they say mac hardware is crap. i have a brand new hp that looks like a slideshow when i play this.

[MrWaterengineer]

HOW many fps at which settings?

[EbuTuoyEto]

Its a seriously  lag on my mac book white :(

[kenjahat]

how when i install the window 7 how can i switch it back

[dinotank]

Why the hell you owned a MacBook but using XP as your OS?? so why don't you buy Windows Based Notebook???

[dracojah]

@dinotank because a Mac is the best windows laptop you can buy, and you can reboot to Mac OS X anytime, as for example this video was uploaded from iMovie, i only use windows to play some games.

[JavierDavid1997]

@dracojah do u konw will the game work on windows vista even if u have a little virus which is slow

[LHunterO78]

omg it DOES work!!!!!!!!!!

[ivansuperboy]

How much GHz do you have

[boyuchuadaniel]

@ivansuperboy Did u know something that is called the description box in youtube?

[Devikvampire]

Mine's the old mac book pro. Will it still run well?

[LHunterO78]

@Devikvampire i think it should, just keep it on low settings

[ciber101010101]

wow that works hella good

[ps3boy138277]

You're right it impresses me too....

I have the same computer and GTA IV as well running on bootcamp....

but for such a "small" computer it's AMAZING

[mike22157]

is this an original copy of the game? or did you download it?

[bob222777]

how did u put the volume

[vancar6]

is not that the macbook pro?

I thought the macbook alu did not have keyboard light

[blackbirdflight]

no the old middleprised alu macbooks had keyboard light :P

[oldmac6]

@vancar6 the 2.4 Ghz has backlight keyboard in standart but the 2.0 ghz didn't have it

[hecastemesa]

is a macbook pro??

[Jo3sX]

Wow, that's pretty impressive for intergrated graphics. I thought this would be one of the drawbacks of the Alu MacBook as against the Uni MBP, but this video says otherwise. Looks much nicer than on the dedicated 256MB 8600GT on my 2007 MBP. Just ordered one of these, hopefully GTA IV will run as nice as on this video! Mind sharing your settings?

[bob222777]

is this the window disk

[LegoHarryPotter14]

get*

[LegoHarryPotter14]

If I git a 32-bit Mac, I would say "AGHHH! THE ONLY AWESOME HORROR GAME I CAN PLAY IS DOOM 3!!!! AGH!!!!!"

[vancar6]

how would this play on a mac mini with exacly the same specs?

[HDMohamed]

how did you install this?? I got the legal discs and stuff.... PLEASE TELL ME!! im worried

[tybouy]

install boot camp

[AlphaShokk]

why i cant play gta 5 on mac ?

[electricity95]

probably cuz the game doesn't exist

[AlphaShokk]

lol i mean gta 4

[BeattieBullet94]

@AlphaShokk COS GTA 5 DOESNT EXIST DERPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!

[ozon671]

no good gameplay,my gameplay super vista32bit hd4850 my video album

[jerarri]

oke i have te same macbook but i never know that is run games well ! , i give it a try

[DarwynxRivver]

awesome! :D

[WestWizzy]

this is way better then windows laptop/s

[marvindingdong]

wow

das ist geil, jetz weiß ich das ich kein mac book pro brauche

[chrischris292]

that beats my frickn AMD 3.0 ghrtz and 8600 gts

[chrischris292]

but im using 1.0.1

[Eirwan95]

of course dude...its 9400m....8600 gts not to say bad or anything but it just sux...btw awesome processor!

[chrischris292]

haha thanks

[pipech121]

hello have question.i have mac 4 gb 2.66ghz.........If I will establish win xp.Will be too most gb 4 2.66 ghz......?

[guitarnmusic1617]

will GTA IV run on macbook aluminium 2.0ghz core 2 duo, 2gb ddr3 ram, nvidia Geforce 9400M with 256 ddr3 SDRAM shared with main memory, on windows xp pro service pack 1?

[yonoestoydeacuerdo]

needs Service pack 3 AFAIK

[Eirwan95]

no sp2 or later..

[erazor164]

settings ?

[ghStunter]

O.O omg...why it works better than on my hp pavillion dv-6???? it has 4gb ram, an nvidia geforce 9200m gs and an intel core 2 duo 2.00ghz....

[SyntheticEspionage]

The difference in DDR3 Ram and the graphics card is probably why.

[01134hello]

coz its got a 9200m? thats like a card that only display basic graphics

[polaroidruletheworld]

any patches...?

or did you just run it and play?

that would be amazing

haha

[mf91007]

It actually will run better on Vista. XP will cap the RAM usage at 2 gigs. Vista uses my macbook pro's full 4gb of RAM.

[terlika77777]

omg dude u are so freakin stupid xp will run up to 3 gb ram on 32 bit version and up to 128 gb ram on 64 bit version so stfu mac retard

[imafurryhusky]

The mac i want to get

# intel Core 2 Duo

# 2GB DDR2 Memory

# 160GB hard drive1

# NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics

# Standard keyboard

# White polycarbonate shell

will it work

[umaralikhn]

need for speed carbon will work

[terlika77777]

no ofcorse

[044047]

Choose the New 13" MacBook Pro. Comes with anything you'd need and more.

[Thiesson3114]

PLEASE ANSWER::::

I got a macbook aluminium...

What does a macbook run games fast? is it the CPU or the ram??

or something.

[mike94116]

CPU, RAM and video card, also maybe a 64-bit version of vista

[casiey258]

Will this work on a MacBook pro?

[costescuandrei1975]

he is playing on a macbook pro 13''

[egamer24]

its the aluminum MACBOOK... which was later called macbook pro!

[Ezalian]

it's not macbook pro, but a macbook 13". A late 2008 model..

[CITGProductions]

that is fly

[FINgameGuy]

Is the graphics in high?

[dragonray17]

Grand Theft Auto IV is the Ultimate Test for games ,, IT WORKS FINE !XD

[baliaxe]

Hy I installed gta sa on my alu macbook on windows xp bootcamp and it cant find any installed sound card. can anyone help me what to do? thanks.

[ctrott101]

did you install the drivers from the leopard cd?

[baliaxe]

yes i did and it works great thank you

[mymusicvideos1991]

i installed it and i get an error saying i don't have a video card?

[baliaxe]

when you start your windows partition put the osx installer dvd to install drivers: video card, sound card, usb-s, airport card, bluetooth, ect...

[KingKombat95]

See, this is what I like. Mac and Windows side by side. It all comes down to hardware.

[Gtubedd15du]

i made my vid with my 13" macbook 2.4 ghz

4gb of ram,

check out my profile for it ;)

cheers!

[scarface4724]

what settings are these on?

[Gtubedd15du]

it works on my 2.4ghz Macbook

with 4 Gb of ram

Making a video soon ;)

[lsxdashtwo]

GTA 4 PC is crap

[spanjoar]

can somebody tell me if this game works as good as it does on a 2.53GHz as a 2.26GHZ . (Macbook pro 13")

[kalkfighter]

2.26 ghz are enough for this game just the gpu is a problem but it will do the job so yes you can play it

[Fawcksee]

sooo,, if i bought the new 2.53ghz macbook aluminum i could run this better? since some games require more processor power when the gfx card isnt as good

[kalkfighter]

no you cant run this better caurse of the gpu its the same in all 13 inch macbooks

[scarface4724]

Also, applegeek13 is bootcamp free?

[AppleGeek13]

Bootcamp comes free with every mac. What you do is you choose your partion for windows e'g 60gb then you create 2 operating systems then you can install anything you want on your windows depending on how much storage you gave it.

[lsxdashtwo]

its free, comes with the computer

[scarface4724]

so wait, can you get any os to work with bootcamp...so when i get my macbook aluminum can i get bootcamp with vista, like thios guy in the video?

[kalkfighter]

yes you can

[scarface4724]

nice!

[scarface4724]

WTF is bootcamp!?!?

[AppleGeek13]

It is a way so you can patrician some of your internal hard drive on your mac so you can run windows as well as mac. Hope that answered your question!

[scarface4724]

applegeek: so like, take about 100 gb of your 1000 gb and so then when i wanna play a windows only supported game, i can install the game to my mac under that portion?

[halogenetor]

what do you have the game settings on? low med or high?

[kaoapts]

nice

[H4L0K1LL4]

I NEED HELP!!! ok, i have a 15" MacBook Pro aluminium, 2.4 Ghz. processor. i play the game on, when i'm in the apartament that is, cause as soon as i get out, it barely (or not at all) loads the scenary. ikd what to do, i turned the graphics down all the way and i still get this prolem! plz i need help!

[CoolKidinTown07]

what are your settings? do u think ill be able to play gta4? my macbooks settings are:

processor: 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo

memory: 2gb 667 mhz ddr2 sdram and btw can use a ps3 or a 360 controller to play this game?

[eiriksau]

ur awsome man

[NIKO4GTA]

can i use ps3 controller or xbox 360 controller on macbook

[raajness]

xbox 360 controller yeh dunno bout ps3, you will need a xbox to usb wire to connect the controller.

[InterestingFlavour]

If I install Windows SP2, can I upgrade to SP3 without buying a new Windows XP disk? Like a system update on a mac? Never owned a Windows, so I don't know how this works. :)

[dracojah]

Yes you can upgrade to SP3 for free

[Mikkel8P]

Hi

I'm trying to find out what i need to run Windows XP with Bootcamp, Is it true that i need OEM and sp2 (can i use sp3? if yes how?)

Please answer i need help :b

[joewillgo]

will Grand Theft Auto IV EVER come out to the Mac OS X? Cause I'm sure that's the best OS to play Grand Theft Auto IV on! :D

[AtomicDopeDog]

I don't think so...

You could play in osx with crossover or cider, but that's it...

[wam226]

is xp service pack 3 better than vista SP 1?

[olhilt]

u can't put it dat way.. wad draco means that the recommended OS to run a gta IV is xp service pack 3 not vista..

[aliencow101]

what joewillgo means is that if the greatest OS had gta 4, then it would truely be awesomeness!!!!

[NIKO4GTA]

no it isn't

[olhilt]

yo draco, got a question right here.

on what lvl of setting are u running dat??

and which gigs of ram did u get? 2 or 4?

[Macumatic]

hey man!

have a question:

what drivers did you install so that the 9400M is recognized?

[ARR016a]

whats allooneyum?

[dracojah]

yeah well try saying aluminium in french so i can laugh too

[Pierreax59]

Dont mock french people dude ;)

Can you tell us the graphic preferences you used ? (resolution, details, etc)

Peace

[gr33n3y3ball3r]

[chrischris292]

[oxuv]

[kavehmoh1238]

[Slushtenz]

[bzwMomobzw7]

@albokidnj

[albokidnj]

yo you think the 2.0 ghz model macbook 13 inch will be able to run games like this well?

[PACSLeader]

did bootcamp come free

[PDzero]

Yes, it's pre-installed within Mac OS X. You do need your own version of Windows however...

[piix44]

dracojah, can you help me? i'm on XP SP3...

[piix44]

awesome :( i have the same macbook 13" alu 2.4 & not working like this via bootcamp... help :s

[GrnPlatyProductions]

So, do you think this game would work on a White MacBook with the nVidia Graphics card (Same as this Macbook) but with a 2.0 Ghz Processor and 4GB of memory?

looks like it works pretty well on your computer! Congratulations on being able to have it on your computer though! Especially considering the fact that the MacBook is a laptop and this game makes gaming computers stuggle a bit!

But yea, please let me know what you would think about me playing this game on the MacBook i have. Thanks.

[invitationofchaos]

yes, but place all settings between low - medium, the ddr3 ram takes care of the rest

[Joshua1396]

Yes, it will definitely work so instal it and it will play perfectly

[joewillgo]

Can you MAX OUT all of the settings? If you have a Macbook Pro? With 128 SSD and 4 GB of ram and intel running at 2.8 GHZ?

[markos741]

This is the best response to all the rubbish published on pc forums.

Macbook rules!

Thanks man.

[1337leo]

AL-A-MIN-I-UM

[james200247]

hey dude is the BootCamp Windows Vista SP1 exe file is so how did u load it on your mac because i have one too

[joewillgo]

I thought that was the Macbook Pro at first! But it's the Macbook! So guys, just think how it would run on the Macbook Pro! :D

[plumlove1995]

i sold my mbp 2.33g with 3g ram and x1600 256mb for a new mbp 2.53g with 4g ram and 9600gt 512mb. the game runs fairly good but graphics are still a bit crappy(in terms of detail texture) what VGA do you have there?

[01134hello]

macbook aluminium are with the 9400M intergrated card

[BarricadeSlade]

MacBooks don't use VGA, no Mac since 2003 has.

[plumlove1995]

my "vga" refers to whichever form the graphic element is~^_^~

[BarricadeSlade]

nVidia's newest GeForce 9400M

[joewillgo]

The one in the Macbook Pro is better

[mikedevil8480]

no shit shirlock

[Hacker133]

can someone tell me a good activation crack for gta4. i too am using boot camp windows xp pro pack 3?

help please.

[heebyjeebys66]

great vid... the game runs real smooth! What settings was the game in btw?

[Alkaza]

wow, I didn't know my macbook could play this game, are you using 4Gb of RAM? or 2Gb?

[zombiecarrot]

how are the graphics ?!

[kscan2269]

whats the cheapest windows program you can buy for the macbook bootcamp and or can you just use one from a different computer

[Cartuner25]

you should use xp, and the software it comes with is specially made for your computer

[Yamcha67]

not bad but a bit laggy, my PC runs it like that since i have an old video card 7600GT.. I think the 9600M could run it without a prob tho.

[oerunekoi]

Hey that's cool man, GTA IV need a powerful PC just plug a Xbox 360 controller to make it better.

I tough that was a MBP but no! It's the 9400 Integrated Graphics but you have to upgrade to 4 GB? or are you running with 2 GB. My Blackbook cann't do that!

[miike0595]

yoo whats the res of this

[joewillgo]

Will Windows Live work on a Mac? HELP ME WITH THAT!

[isamiguel]

yo can you put what the FPS is while you playing

[elelamb]

That's Bloody Impressive! Can't wait for my MacBook!

P.S. Could someone tell me if Boot Camp actually comes with the MacBook? Or does it cost?? I don't quite get the concept of it. Thanks in advance.

Elliot

[dracojah]

Boot Camp is integrated to Leopard, it's in the Application/Utilities folder!

[elelamb]

Yea, but do you need like a windows vista/xp cd or is the whole of windows built in to the mac out of the box?

[dracojah]

You do need a valid copy of Windows XP or Vista with a serial number and stuff..

[hereistand2008]

u need windows vista install it in Mac OSX's bootcamp

[SaundersKira]

Who are those characters on the loading screen? They are different from the 360/PS3 version, plus i've never seen them in the game

[joshyw77]

laptops have always put me off getting becuase of the lack of graphics power, and to get a good windows laptop going yo need the massive 17" laptops. but the mac amazines me. im clad im saving up for one.

[yelloloco]

i got the macbook aluminium 2.0ghz if i put windows xp with bootcamp wil my macbook play gta4 good like yours ? thank you for addin this vid.

[kyXst]

Almost. He has the 2,4 and you got the 2,0, so there will be difference, but it will still be playable.

I'm getting the 2,0 Ghz soon aswell:P

[yelloloco]

ty for your reply.

i got one more question.

i was installin windows vista with bootcamp and then i looked for my install dvd for the drivers but i lost it and can't find it.

do i need the install dvd to get the drivers to run vista or can i get the drivers online ?

hope you can help ty

[zurbon]

It will play it just as fine theres no difference in performance between the 2.0 and the 2.4 the only difference is the light up keyboard lol but seriously you will be able to just just as fine.

[joewillgo]

Can you use a microsoft xbox 360 controller to control the game? Because it would be a pain in the a** to control the game with the PC controls. AM I RIGHT?!

[elelamb]

You can buy gaming controllers for computers that are similar to that of the PlayStation

[joewillgo]

Where? Because that will be great! But will the controls be 1000% like it would on a PS3? And detect how much presure i'm useing on the controller?

[elelamb]

If your from the UK, GAME do these and if your from the US, I'm sure Amazon sell them. Just have a quick Google session and I'm sure you'll find some in no time.

[JSM9393]

hey

can you play it on mac osx aswell?

[kyXst]

GTA IV is not avalible for Mac OS, only Windows.

[AlexEttels]

*Yet

[kyXst]

It will never come to Mac OS. I hope i will, but I dont think it will.

[joewillgo]

I don't think so. Because it says (Games for Windows)

[zerrorebbel]

na its only 4 windows

[9thprotocol]

if you yanks weren't theiving criminals there would've never been a grand theft auto game - got the message?

[0v1deatza]

Hy :D u can post new videos ? :d please

[dracojah]

I'll post some new videos soon, i just don't have much time lately!

[Em231994]

I think it runs better than my PC,the mine one its not a laptop...

[Fizzo0]

Haha the way to say Aluminum at the start ^_^

[DarkGrishnakh]

dracojah, what is your macbook spec ..

[dracojah]

Core2Duo 2.4 Ghz

2gb of ram

nvidia 9400m gt

Windows vista 32bit sp1

[Salvakins704]

does it have good grapics?

[xpuaz]

thats no 9400m GT its just a 9400m

[SgtXbox360]

do you think the new Macbook Pro will be able to run it at max settings?

[dudegh464]

I doubt it, it might be able to run on higher settings, but if 512mb is the recommend card, I don't think it will be able to handle max
