Hey

I just came into contact woth a game that requires 64mb of vram the only problem is that my mini only has 32mb on board. Each time I try to open the file it tells me that I must meet the display requirements specified in the read me file. I was wondering if there was ny way around this, Id really like to play my game (age of empires iii)

    It depends on what the game is asking. If it is checking for Quartz Extreme, then you can do that. If it is actually checking the VRAM directly, you are out of luck.



    I can't remember what system setting you use to tell Quartz Extreme what its minimum VRAM should be. Search on MacOSXHints.com.
