Yes, I am aware that we are able to play w3 in mac os,
but will it run smoothly or with lags and delays?

Parallels? You sure wc3 can run in parallels mer? sweat.gif Parallels just for 2D app atm. Parallels havn't implement 3D acceleration.

If you guys want use windows wc3 installation, you can try use crossover. It support 3D acceleration.
