Timmy two questions are you running TF2 on a WidowsXP bottle or Windows2000? and the second do you think L4D will run on a macbook? i think it will but i want to here your opinion thanks.

[timmyt6]

Windows 2000 for steam with PC fire fox installed in the same bottle, well it looks like it makes the requirements but it all depends on how compatible it will be with crossover games, hoping there will be a demo or a free weekend, I'm very interested to give it a go once it's out

How would this work if I had a 2.0GHZ with 1gb of RAM?

[timmyt6]

not sure i think the ram may let it down not the chip, maybe wait until the next free TF2 weekend and try it with the crossover trial, unless you know someone you can borrow a steam ID and try it

[timmyt6]

i just looked at the minimum specs it says 1.7GHZ and 512 ram so going by that it should be ok, assuming your macbook is the newer model with the GMA X3100 with 144 vram, but i would suggest a ram upgrade may be required can't really be sure. A lot of people ask about the 2GHZ  with 1 gig ram macbook, so if you try it and it's good let others know :)

Is it more reasonable to play windows games using boot camp or crossover in terms of performance? Have you tried doing the same thing using boot camp?

[timmyt6]

i did try bootcamp with vista and XP at first but came across trouble because of the macbook graphics chip and lack of a card it may have needed drivers but i could not find a solution, but give it a try i gave up quickly. Running crossover other then bootcamp probably uses less system resources, but saying that when i upgrade my desktop mac to a intel i will probably run bootcamp for games along side crossover, for me right now crossover games is my TF2 player for my macbook.

@captainclayman No it won't run at all

[giserson2]

@Yakkers171717 no that is not gma 950 2.4 ghz macbook's don't have gma 950 because they are newer (macbook 3.1-7.1) only the first two versions of macbook had gma 950

[applefan236]

how did you get it to run?

[diablo9333]

is this with intel x3100 video card?

[mrsubscribe11]

You can now play games through Steam on OSX.

dammn that rocki'n pretty good!

[Yakkers171717]

This can't be the GMA950 model Macbook, right?

Because that's what I have and it's can't even run HL2.

tf2 is native for mac.........

[superriku11]

@timmyt6 Does firefox make any difference at all? I recently got CrossOver Games 9.1.0 and I am gonna get Steam via Download and then install TF2, I have the MacBook 4,1 (2.4 Ghz, Intel GMA X3100). Also, would you advise a Windows 2000 bottle over a winxp bottle?
