[QUOTE="dtownley1, post: 285917, member: 20564"] I have a feeling that Gameranger (used for AOE2, so I'm guessing it's still used for AOE3) isn't compatible with PC users...I could be wrong there though. Haven't played AOE3 yet, but it seemed fairly graphically intense. If it's Universal Binary, my guess is that it should work OK if the graphics are turned down a little. I'm yet to try a universal binary game on my macbook, so I'm not really sure of the 'limits' yet. I've tried a few PPC ones, which ran much better on my 3 year old iBook. Check the Gameranger site for details of whether there are any costs to play online. As far as I know, AOE2 didn't have any - I don't see why they should introduce a payment system for the newer game. I'm sure others could clear this up better, but I hope this helps for now. [/QUOTE]
