Hey,
I've spent many hours trying to find the combination of fixes to get these babies to work, and I figured to make it easy for everyone else looking around, I would post my results that gave me great fps on my Macbook 2.0Ghz with the GMA 945 intel integrated chip. Of course it will work nicer for those with a faster processor.
Once both programs are installed, right click on each of their shortcuts on the desktop, and under properties, make the target read
This fixes HL2:E2, although water does not show up (for me), but that doesn't affect gameplay so far that I've seen.
For TF2, you need to find the config file (Steam>Steamapps>[username]>Team Fortress 2>tf>cfg>config
Open it up in notepad, and replace it's contents with:
This should make it very playable with a smooth fps. Note: Do not change video settings within the game! If you need to change them, find and change them in the config file. Also, when done with the config file, make sure it is read only so tf2 won't change them on you. Keep the original cfg if you want to as a copy. Also, Most info was from the Steampowered Forums here: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=623213&intel+fortress
^That was a difficult page to find, somehow, and since this site is higher on the google listings, hopefully it will help someone!
Sidenote: I am using Vista: Home Edition, and the preceding website also has a fix for portal, although it makes the walls blinding and painful, but playable.
Enjoy the orange box goodness!
