Hi Guys, I?m mostly a PC gamer but I have always admired Mac?s. Just a couple of days ago I decided to finally buy a 12 inch iBook 1.2ghz g4, 60gb hard drive, and 1280mb?s of ram. I know this is not a gaming machine but I?m still quite curious what other people are playing on their iBook?s, and how successful are iBooks at playing games like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. I?m also wanting to play the upcoming Worlds of Warcraft on my iBook as well, but as I said before, I know nothing of how well these computers game. Any comments guys?



thanks

    Hmmm...WoW might or might not run well on the iBook, but it will at least launch. I'd say 20FPS in mid-crowded outdoor areas.

    Looks like WoW is out for the ibooks (too bad).

    It requires 512 ram, 1 Ghz G4, where the ibook is ok, but 64 of VRAM, where the ibook doesn't cut it.

    That makes me a sad panda... Im guessing it will not even launch without 64MB video memory? I looked into Star Wars: KOTOR, and I am pretty sure i shouldent have any problems playing it, but im still curious how well these things game...

    I know someone who ran WoW on a 1.2ghz iBook, they were doing the beta testing they said it was pretty smooth when all settings were on low.
