intel imac? If so, better use bootcamp or crossover/parallels cos' WC3 not yet UB and it's quite buggy. That's what i heard it.

If im not mistaken there is no Mac version of Warcraft III.

You can install the cd both on a windows or a Mac.

Got mac version la sweat.gif Just that for intelmac, it will be buggy and slow cos' it design for PPC mac only. The best way is running under bootcamp. For crossover, i had use it before, kinda buggy as well since crossover still under beta doh.gif

btw, hamachi for mac don't have chat feature hmm.gif

In other words, still we use PC for ultimate gaming. Is MAC really that bad in world of gaming?

It's because of directx. Mac os using opengl, whereas most game use directx.

OSX is using OpenGL . Thats not the problem , Warcraft III runs pretty good on my mac mini . no problem , but hten it lags when i run it on top of my hac.Its mainly because of the emulation , even such an old game , it lags. so pretty much you're better off running warcraft III on windows then on an intel mac / but if you're talking about ppc imacs its fine

i have dota'ed on my mac mini ...i have no what-so-ever problems

my bad biggrin.gif Well, i think the main issue is the UB for intelmac. It's just like CS2 which is still under PPC.
