Hi there--I just bought a new (black) macbook for college last summer. I'm normally not into gaming of any kind, and I just use my macbook for minimal word processing (freshman music majors don't have as many papers to write as liberal arts majors, thankfully XD).
Well, I just bought the Sims 3. And it's slow as all hell.
The game RUNS, but slowly (I don't think the game is going to crash or anything, but it doesn't run smoothly).
I'm bummed, because I know there's no way of updating the graphics card.

My question is: Is there any other way I can possibly improve the performance of my macbook?
Thank you in advance.

You can turn the visual options all the way down. The Windows version may run faster (possibly). Other than that you're stuck with Intel integrated graphics, which isn't meant for fully featured games.
