Has anyone tried running Warcraft 3 on an iMac 400mhz DV with 8megs of video memory? Is it playable? Any feedback would be appreciated.
 
I doubt it woul dbe nice. It's only JUSt managing (on full settings though) on my GeForce2MX 32mb in my iMac G4 700....
 
It may work but I don't think I'd want to play it. I'd say it was marginaly playable with my 350 G3 running at 400. I have the stock 16 mb rage card. It was really hurting graphics-wise. The 550 on the other hand is running it great.

If I'm not mistaken 16MB VRAM is the minimal that's supported. I may be wrong though.
 
No you were right but I was just asking to see if anyone was able to play it on all minimal settings on my type of computer. Oh well thanx for the input.
 
buy a pc... you think Im kidding, but if you want to play games on a cheap system, you could build a 1Ghz AMD system with a geforce 3 for under 800$.... I hate to say it but macs, while keeping their lifespan long, cannont play the newest and greatest games after a couple of years....
 
well if you have 400 dollars to throw out the window and know how to build a computer from parts you can make an athlon 1600 with geforce 2 graphics thanks to the nforce chip set, 256 mb of ram, 40 gig hard drive and a cd r or dvd drive.

Otherwise just wait a while and pray that ibm and apple get working on the new chip.

That's not entirely true.
Macs can play games about 300x better than any windows comp these days, you just have to donate a little bit more of your time and money to get one. :)
 
As if there wasn't enough Mac vs PC debate around here it has to come up here as well? the question was if an iMac would play WCIII. Bar none.
