Hey,

I have the new MacBook (2.4GHz), and I so happen to have Parallels. I only wanted to install Parallels to play Gears of War for PC. Is it even worth installing it, will this MacBook be to slow anyways to play the game.

Either I install XP and play Gears of War, or just not play any Gears?

What's the most sensible thing to do.

Thanks

Games are best played when XP is installed and runs natively on your Mac. That means using Boot Camp not Parallels or Fusion.

Regards.

With the macbook graphics card, I highly doubt that it will have enough juice in it to play gears. sorry to break your heart.

It definitely won't work in Parallels, only Boot Camp.
