#10400100663 04/05/2006 12:31:03 I did it!
I am officially the first player to jack in to the Matrix on a Mac:





It runs great! 1440x900 native resolution, anti-aliasing, everything turned on. SMILEY

Made possible by Apple's new Boot Camp software.

So how does it run? Hell, how does XP run on it?


It runs great! Like I said, I'm running the game at the screen's native resolution (1440x900) with anti-aliasing and all the other goodies turned on, and I'm getting a solid 25-30 FPS.

XP runs great on it too...even faster than my desktop PC. :p

Yeah, being a computer tech I could always generate making more money by learning more about troubleshooting Macs. Maybe this is the final excuse to buy one! Besides, the PowerBooks are sweet.

Yes, as long as you have one of the new Intel-based Macs. Apple just released a beta version of their new Boot Camp software, which will be a part of the next version of Mac OS X. As long as you have a valid Windows XP SP2 install disc and an Intel Mac, you can dual-boot into either Mac OS X or Windows XP.

"Valid". Are you saying if I had a fake copy of microshaft windows, it wouldn't work?

Widescreen MxO looks great whether it's on a Mac or not.
