Im not a computer savy kind of guy so i was wondering if my macbook pro would be able to run diablo 3 through bootcamp or even just on OS X?

my specs are as followed

Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
and i have Windows 7 64 bit on bootcamp

the requirements for the game are at this link - Diablo III System Requirements - Battle.net Support

The only glitch in running either the Windows or Mac version is the GPU. Your MBP has the Intel HD 3000 integrated GPU with 384 MB (borrowed) of memory.

Take note that the graphics requirements for both PC and Mac are higher. You can increase the graphics memory of the HD 3000 by installing another 4 GB of memory in the machine (bringing it up to 8 GB) which will then allow it to borrow up to 512 MB of memory.

You can probably play Diablo fairly well that way but maybe at a lower frame rate. Also, I would get the Mac version.

so u think increasing my graphics memory will make it run more smoothly? Where can i buy more GB's then? Is there a website or something i can buy them from? i saw on apple that they have instructions on how to install more, i just need help finding where to buy them.

Thanks!

Sure. The best place to buy memory in my opinion is from "Other World Computing". They're Mac specialists and authorized dealers. They also have a live chat line and an 800 number you can call. Here is the LINK.
