It is a MacBook. Obviously I didn't buy to to play games on. Its specs running under Vista more than meet the minimum requirements of the Orange Box, and like I said, I Episode One and Portal worked fine, just a little laggy at parts. Episode Two was so laggy it was unplayable, so I gave up on the idea of getting to play it long ago. Just a couple of days ago I heard about Crossover, so I thought I'd give it a go. As I said, Portal played beautifully, no lagging at all even with the graphic setting on high. Kind of strange it should work fine one moment, and consistently fail to load the menu screen later on. I was just curious if anyone else had had any experience with Crossover (or Wine) with games. For a while there I thought it was going to be a incredibly cool app., it doesn't support many games, but The Orange Box was one it claimed it could run quite well on most systems.

What I'd really wish I could do is run classic mac applications, unfortunately, Leopard doesn't support the classic environment. I'd really love to be able to play Escape Velocity: Override again.
