Heya,
As much as I hate to ask this stupid question here it goes. I currently purchased a new Macbook 2.4 ghz 4 gig of ram, 250 gb hd from Best Buy due to my Sony VAIO SZ breaking. I was utterly sick of Windows Vista Home edition on my Alienware desktop, I get blue screens of death nonstop, I've reformatted an ungodly amount of times and was just so happy to be done with it. I have every program working perfectly on my new Macbook! Office 2008 for Mac, MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, iTunes, Firefox, my iPod and iPhone, 2009 Britannica Encyclopedia, my 2009 Medical software, WoW, the only darn thing that doesn't run - Dark Age of Camelot. Now before you judge I've played this game for years and it's utterly impossible to stop yet and it's only for Windows so I have a few options I guess. I can eBay a copy of Windows XP Pro with SP3 for around 135ish bucks or even get one from Newegg, or I can go to my College Bookstore use my ID and pick up Vista Ultimate (full edition) with SP1 for 99.99! What are your thoughts and I'd really like to hear them. My Sony VAIO SZ ran DAoC perfectly and almost exploded when I tried to run WoW, the Macbook actually runs WoW pretty darn good for intergrated graphics, nothing like my desktop but what do you expect... DAoC is a 8+ year old game so I expect it to run well, but don't want to bog the system down when that's all I'm going to be using it for you know? Thanks for the advice all! Love the Macbook and love the community!
