Ok, running CoD2 on windows via bootcamp or within mac os x?
PS: i use a macbook (lowest end)

I think running CoD2 on windows should be much better because it wasnt as smooth running halo in mac os x vs windows

wouldnt it be windows because of direct x support.

Intel GMA performs much better under Windows than under OS X, so I guess, under Windows this game (all games

) performs better.

yeah thought so... coz it felt like it

Expect almost all games to run faster under Windows, because that's what they were originally written for

Yeah, Windows would be faster for all games. It stinks but that's ok, our OS's don't crash a lot.
