Hello. I am running on a MacBook OS X; Version 10.5.5, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM Memory.

I know this isn't the best set-up for gaming, however I understand it may still work with low-quality settings. The games I am interested in are Counter-Strike: Source (Windows version), Team Fortress 2 (Orange Box, Windows version), and Call of Duty 4 (Windows or Mac version).

I am not looking to purchase Leopard.

What is the best way to go about this? I assume Boot Camp Assistant is the Boot Camp people talk about, to play games on Windows with the Mac? What would run best, for instance, if I were to run Call of Duty 4 through the Mac version or through Boot Camp on the Windows version?

Which game would you recommend from possible personal experience, or possibly not recommend as well?

Thank you for the help!

You already have Leopard (10.5.5).

Boot Camp would be the way to go. Boot Camp boots your computer as a Windows PC for maximum performance. See the Alternative Operating Systems forum for more details.
