Hi, i'm wondering if anyone has ever played CS 1.6/Source WITH CROSSOVER on a Mac Pro with specs that are moderately close to the ones below:

Two 2.66GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Mac OS X - U.S. English
4GB (4 x 1GB)
ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB

...also if you have ever played using bootcamp that may be an option i'm willing to take.

I've used boot camp to play source/half life 2 and they ran fine with my older core duos specs. You should have no problems with your specs there. Crossover is slower of course but it works fine for 1.6, I have yet to use it for source or half life 2 though. If I had a larger hard drive I would definitely use boot camp, but i'm trying to save space thus I use crossover.

Oh thanks!

I think i'll just use the trial of CrossOver first to see how it works and if I don't like it then i'll just download bootcamp and buy vista ultimate ^_^

Ok I want to know..with those specs..how do you think my Mac will perform running Counter-Strike: Source using CrossOver? Like do you think i'll get at least 100 fps? or is that too much to bargain for?
