Warcraft 3 running slow!

[funkeemonkey]

hey guys,
before my question this is my story... i bought a macbook pro 15' 2.33 with x1600 256 2gb of ram, anyways, first thing i did when i got my laptop was install windows... BAD BAD Mistake, i didnt stop to realize how much better OS X is.

anyways after 2 months i realized that and now i removed windows. however, i noticed that my warcraft 3 runs faster on windows then osx, does anyone have a solution. and mind you, it lags on OSX i mean i have to run minimal settings for it to work fine. but when i had windows it worked perfect with max settings? any solutions?

thanks guys
funkeemonkey,

The Mac version is PPC only, meaning that it'll be noticeably slower when running in OSX on an Intel machine. The reason you were fine in Windows is that the Windows version is Intel. Understand?

Unfortunately there's no Intel-patch for Warcraft, so either you run it slow in OSX, faster in Windows or not at all

Really?
Check the link here for the Universal Binary (Intel) patch.

Caveat: I'm playing WoW, not WC3. So I can't vouch for this.
