[lincolnchee]

Anyone installed any games on the MBA Rev.B and find it playable without experiencing intolerable lagging ?

What kind of games are you thinking about?

It'd be nice to know what you like to play first.

Hmmm.... Games like Command and Conquer !

WoW runs great on everything low

Which one...

You can play it in DOS if you really wanted to.

sorry to steer the thread in a different direction, but on the same topic, anyone tried COD4 for Mac on their mba revB?

By "runs great," what kind of FPS are you seeing in different situations?

ie: in PvP; large, crowded cities; questing outside in Northrend; in 10- and 25-man raids (if you have experience with either)?

I'm currently on a late 2007 MBP and have been pining over a new Rev. B MBA with the latest changes. WoW is the only game I really play on my MBP so I'm very curious as to whether or not an MBA can handle it well enough to ditch the MBP.

did you do a search first? there's a whole thread on games on the Air. one user was posting framerates on his Rev B SSD Air.

I hear the Mac port of COD4 sucks, you are better off installing XP and running it under windows.

Counter-Strike Source should be playable on a Rev B id imagine if you want a multiplayer game

Thanks. That thread is mainly for MBA Rev.1

From where I linked on to the end it is mainly about the Rev B.

Thanks. I didn't see probably because I set my forum to display the latest posts first.

I posted this in the other thread but I've installed and played the following games at native resolution via boot camp on low settings and they play smoothly.

Red Alert 3
Battlefield 2
Team Fortress 2

Hope this helps.
