Hello all. I recently boot a macbook for college - taking advantage of the printer and ipod deals, basically, otherwise I'm personally not a fan. I don't know what the official designation of my computer is, but It was the 1299 macbook.
I"m trying to figure out the best way to play a PC game that i just picked up on ebay. The game is Medieval Total War, and its expansion, Viking Invasion. They were both produced between '02-'03, so I'm not worried about installing something and then having to play a just-released game, these don't require anything particularly high tech in the way of graphics cards and all that jazz.
What is the best, easiest, and/or cheapest way to go about playing this game? Should I use boot camp, which has been recommended to me, or pick up a PC emulator? If the former, apparently I need to pick up a windows xp something or other. Where do I do that, and how much money will that cost me? Can I upgrade to this OS X thing which has leopard and apparently already comes with boot camp, and if so do i then need to go and still get that windows xp thing. It's frustrating.
Thanks.
