Hey all,

I currently have a white macbook (X3100) and was wondering if it is possible to play it on the machine without getting a "this graphics card doesn't support it" message via BootCamp (no mac version yet). I do play CoD4 without any problems, while the graphics aren't the best, it is playable, and was hoping that CoD5 would be the same. Has anyone tried it yet?

Thanks!

If the game doesn't support your card, you can't play it. End of of story. There are a very, very few exceptions to this rule, but there's not gonna be any magic software you can install that will give a GPU features that it doesn't have (and thus enable support for games such as CoD 5).

Its not Call of Duty 5, that come out next year. This is just a COD4 "upgrade" and i say "upgrade" cause the game play kinda sucks. The only way you can play it is if you play it through bootcamp on windows.

Well CoD 5 runs off of the same engine used in CoD 4 so i think the game play might be the same

No, its Call of Duty 5. I just wouldn't get it since the game doens't seem to great, and definitely won't play well on your system.

My card isn't listed as supporting CoD4 but can play it with a few options turned off fine. I'm simply asking if it will be able to run it without a "card doesn't support it" message.
