alright, so my friend just got a macbook and loves it. He was asking me though if he could play the sims on it. i didn't know. i know it doesn't have a very good video card, but will the macbook be able to it? It the 2ghz C2D 1g of ram and the 80g HD. Thanks in advanced!

Edit: I might of put this in the wrong thread. So admin please move it if i did. Thanks!

Yes it should be able to play it.

Maybe turn down some of the graphic settings and it should be fine.

It will be running in Rosetta, so it will be really slow, independent of the graphics card issue. AFAIK, Aspyr is not going to release a Universal patch for it, since they have the Sims 2.
I do not like those green links and spam.
