[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1407217, member: 24098"] Install 64-bit Windows 7. The games will still run in 32-bit. This is important, because if you go with 32-bit, only 3GB or so of your memory will be addressable by Windows. They recommend using wired input devices, because for a time, your bluetooth devices won't work before the BT drivers are installed, running and the devices are paired. With that said, you can pick up a $10 USB keyboard and mouse and that will work fine for the install process. You certainly don't need any Apple-branded hardware. Cider is more of a developer suite for porting games than it is for end-users to run them. If you really want to use WINE, check out [URL="http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxgames/"]CrossOver Games[/URL]. Far more user-friendly and compatible. [/QUOTE]
