VMware takes up a lot of resources, on top of TWO operating systems. Don't expect any sort of good frame rate with that setup.

The biggest difference between Windows and OSX is DirectX. DirectX just handles game rendering so much better than OpenGL. However I'm not sure what the recent graphics update for the OSX has done for this.

Ahh what I meant was can VMware boot up only one OS. But I'm assuming from your answer, no smile.gif

Hey guys,

I just noticed a "?" symbol on my finder. When i try to click it, it says "Item cant be found" . Anyone know what it is?

If I am not mistaken,
You have either dragged/accidentally dragged a file to the top on the window before(where the '?' is) and you deleted that file

just  boot natively to windows , thats all

Anyway I've managed to get MW2 to work in OSX , mp works great (its non-steam but I've the original version , had to patch it to work with private servers and stuff) , but then its a proof of concept that we can play windows games @ osx !

Awesome!
And how do I do that?
