I consider buying GTA IV - but is there any hope it will ever run properly on my mac?

It's the new late 08 macbook pro, 2.4 ghz standard configuration
 
I doubt it. Even people with high-end systems are finding it is very intensive. Also, there are a lot of issues with the game right now on Windows. I'd never recommend buying a Mac for gaming.
 
works

Using an early 2008 MBP and it works on low-med. Getting 20-30 fps. Looks kinda like GTA SA on really high. Some minor problems, a few seconds slow downs here and there. Not a bad game. :)
 
I doubt that too. You should run it on Xbox or PS3 or PC. It takes a lot of resources..
