i'm going to get call of duty 2 sometime soon. I have a macbook, yea i know the frame rate leaves a little to be desired. However I have played it on a macbook and I am content. I also have bootcamp installed. Which One should I get it on?

thanks!

Get the Windows version, because it costs $35 new and just $22 used. The Mac version is $45 new and $40 used at Amazon.

I don't think it will even run on a MacBook.

Actually, I'm doubtful it will run on Windows either. There are some games (in particular, newer games) that simply will not even start if you have a GMA950 graphics processor. Many games require an ATI or nVidia GPU. Only some of them are compatible with XGI, Matrox, Intel, and other third-party GPUs.

See if you can download a demo, if not for the Mac version, than for Windows.

It's a pain in the ass the reboot everytime you wanna play a game. I hope parallels with release a version with 3D hardware support soon...
