I've established a Windows Gaming on a Mac Guide (http://guides.macrumors.com/Windows_Gaming_on_a_Mac_FAQ) here at MRC.

If you have a Windows gaming fix on your Mac, but don't want to mess with adding it to the guide, please post here and I'll make sure it gets included. I'm really interested in Windows Game performance on your Mac, issues that are yet to be resolved, and solutions to those issues (if you have them).

If you post an issue that needs to be resolved, maybe someone will know the answer and we can get it into the Guide.

Thanks! :)

9/06/08- Added Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind Section under Game Specific Help Pages & added game under Game Performance Under BookCamp Section for MacBook Pro.

Morrowind runs under Vista, with a few install glitches.

Does anyone know if any of the Bungie or Epic Games work?

Like um, the halo trilogy and Gears of war series?....

Thanks,

Joyous

I almost for got... the machine that I am using is home made here are the specs:

AMD Phenom 9600 Agena 2.3GHz Socket AM2+ 95W Quad-Core
ASUS M4A78-E
2 - EVGA GeForce 9800 GT 1GB 256-bit
2 - OCZ Platinum 4GB
2 - Seagate Barracuda 1TB (in addition to gaming, I do LOTS of multimedia work)
ABS Tagan ITZ Series ITZ800-V2 800W
Antec Performance One P180 Silver
DVD burners
LOTS of fans

Which brings me to another question... is it a bad idea to game on a mac with AMD processors? I know with XP its great. But i dunno about a Mac. I do all my multimedia on my mac and game on my PC and I am trying to converge the two.

Thanks again,

Joyous
