That still doesnt really help me, but if theres potential way my mac can play games, more specifically g-mod, im interested. Inform me!

It depends if your mac has an Intel or PowerPC processor.

2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.

Then you can either partition your hard drive to dual boot OSX and Windows, or you can run emulation software.

If you have Leopard you can just run Boot Camp to partition. See here.

Im not fluent in Computer, dumb it down a notch.

Okay, you have two options.

Dual boot: Dual booting will require that you partition your hard drive (split your hard drive into two parts). One part will run OS X (Apple's operating system) and one part will run Windows (Microsoft's operating system). All you need to do is run the Boot Camp program (it's in Applications) and follow the instructions. Basically, you're going to steal some GBs from the Macintosh drive and put them into the Windows drive. You'll need a Windows install CD.

Emulation: Allows you to run Windows within OS X (so basically it runs as a program). It probably won't run as fast as compared to the dual boot option.

I dont have Boot Camp in applications and I searched the hard drive and its not there. And im assuming a windows install CD costs moneys?

Click on the apple in the top left and go to "About This Mac."

Does it say 10.4 or 10.5?

Its 10.4.11, im guessing I need 10.5 and leopard?

Bond · 06-22-2008, 09:02 PM

Yeah, Boot Camp comes with Leopard.

There was a Boot Camp beta for Tiger, but I'm pretty sure it's discontinued.

Well then what would you say is a better plan, save up and buy a PC or buy Leopard for $130 or what ever it is. Does a Mac run windows just as good as PC does?

Bond · 06-22-2008, 09:11 PM

You can get Leopard for $110 on amazon.

If you go to a university you can get it for even cheaper. I got my copy of Leopard for $70.
