Hi all

Is anyone here playing MTW on a mac using bootcamp or virtual machine?

I'm thinking of trying the latter on my macbook and would like to know if anyone here has successfully done this

Thanks

One would imagine that it would all depend on which graphics card you have in your MacBook. IIRC, the last couple of iterations have an NVidia card, which is likely to suffer the problem people report with the drivers being incompatible with MTW.

My MacBook Pro is a bit older and has an ATI card. It runs MTW like a dream under BootCamp and XP.

Looking at the about this mac in finder I do not appear to have an nvidia card, I bought it over two years ago.

The you will likely have an integrated Intel card.

I'm fairly sure there will be no driver issues with this one, and it should be enough to play MTW. Certainly it's worth trying.
