[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1371227, member: 8287"] I own the OSX versions of GTA 3, GTA Vice City and San Andreas. Not Steam but the ones from the Apple store. Running on my 2007 iMac C2D 2.4 Ghz with 4GB RAM and OSX 10.7.3 Lion smooth as can be. The iMac does have desecrete video though but it's an older ATI card HD 2600 with 256 Megs RAM. I am a Vice City fan and have won it 2x on the iMac. It does play on my Macbook and Mini with X3100 Intel graphics and C2D 2.16 CPU very playable but some lag here and there. Not sure how the Steam versions will play as there might be more overhead with the online part and steam manager running. GTA Vice City was $15 at the App store and a great deal if you love the game. My friend plays VC on his even older Macbook but there is a jerk here and there. DEAD smooth on the iMac though. What was interesting is I also tried it on my friends old 1.66Ghz Mini with 2GB RAM and old Intel GMA 950 and it was not really any worse then his C2D Macbook was. I won the first 6 levels in maybe 15-20 minutes without an issue. [/QUOTE]
