Alu Macbook - COD4 Settings?

" Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Hey. Well, if you are reading this review you are probably considering purchasing CoD4: Modern Warfare. After receiving it for christmas, I must say, it is a waste of money. It cost $50 and was certainly not worth it. I have a MacBook G5 with 144mb of Video-Ram (which is pretty fair because the old G4 had 32mb of Video-Ram) and a fairly fast hard drive.

The first major problem is the LAG. At an average rate of 9 fps (frames-per-second) I skipped around campaign with no chance at actually getting to hit anything. The lag unfortunately ruined the experience with all the cool new weapons and gadgets to fool around with. Want to play multiplayer with a good rate of over 50 fps? Dream on. "

What a joke, trying to play the game on a computer with 144mb of video memory? Of course your not gonna get 50 fps or even 30, terrible review.

Your mouse is your personal choice, you find the perfect mouse by trying many, not by buying the most expensive one.
The keyboard of a macbook is quite nice for gaming, and as mouse i use a Logitech G9, Logitech 'oem' (the cheapest mouse ever) or an Logitech LS1 laser. Wich mouse i use depends on the game i play, for shooters like COD4 i use the cheap mouse, playing with that kind of mous for more than 6 years now =D

try out mice, and than you will find 'THE ONE'

i hope my post was usefull in some way, cause i wrote a lot of nonsence, man i <3 mac keyboards haha

1280*800 most settings low (maybe a couple on medium) = playable frame rate in Boot Camp

I received a Vancouver Canucks mouse with a floating NHL puck in it for Christmas one year....I actually prefer it over the wireless Mighty Mouse I have to be honest. Its not fancy or expensive but solid for COD4 as its 2 button and has center scroller that is convenient for my grenade button. All I need is a better key for stun grenades. Anyone have any recommendations for that? The default "4" key doesn't cut it for me when you need it quickly w/o looking.
