Hey guys!
I would like to know if it's possible to run the game RIFT on my Late 2008 Macbook. I researched and found some results on Macbook PRO but couldn't find anything about the regular Macbook so it would be great if there's someone out there who's on a same boat or know the solution.
Just in case, here's my spec and the game's minimum requirement.

Macbook (Late 2008)
OS: Windows 7 Ultra
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo
RAM: 2.00GB (1.73GB usable)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M

Minimum:
OS: Windows XP, Vista or 7
Processor: Dual Core 2.0 GHz or better
Memory: 2 GB
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce FX 5900, ATI/AMD Radeon X300, Intel GMA X4500 or better.

Kinda doubt i can run it in a playable environment because my usable RAM is below the minimum requirements though.

thanks in advance!

You can give it a try.... RIFT really needs dedicated graphics and as you can see your GPU is sharing memory with the system.

And, Welcome to the Mac Forums.

Can You Run It?

Wondering how your computer will run RIFT? Visit the Systems Requirement Lab (Can You Run It?) and type in "RIFT" in the search field to find out.

I cannot be held responsible for the things that come out of my mouth.
In the Windows world, most everything folks don't understand is called a virus.
