Will Europa Universalis 3 work on the Intel GMA X3100?

[Jirlow]

Hello! I am new here, and I ask the very question that was in the title.

I own a MacBook 2,4 GHz, 2GB RAM with the Intel GMA X3100 graphics card.
I have seen that the GMA 950 is required. My guess is that the X3100 is better, and that all the required specs are fulfilled.

However, I run Boot Camp (brilliant little thing, runs for example Civ 4 like a dream), and tried the game for my Windows XP. Then, all I got was a choppy intro, which crashed out to desktop before the actual game would load. Exactly at the same point everytime.

So, my question is: will this game work differently, and will it work well with the Mac verison on my system?

Quick help would be much appreciated!

Thank you!

You need to update the base game to the latest version, version 1.3 and it works like wonders!

I played first Vanilla EU3, and now play the complete in bootcamp. I got it (complete) off amazon for like $12 and absolutely love it.
