Hmmm...you might not like the news...

The minimum requirements are for a RAGE Pro or better 3D accelerator. And you, my friend, have but a lowly RAGE II+ built into your computer. So, that leaves you with three options.

1.) Buy a video card. Expect it to run around one to two hundred dollars, depending on how good you want it to be.

2.) Buy a new computer. Depressingly expensive no matter how you look at it.

3.) Give up.

Personally, my choice would be one.
Living, working, and freezing in the Canadian north.

I also have an iBook rev. a. Should it work??

In the bitter end I will use my work computer which is a G4 450DP but I'd hate to have to install games on it...

I am not 100 percent sure, but I think the Rev A iBook has a RAGE Pro chip built in - only 4 megs, but it should meet the requirements. Give it a try, anyways. Your G4 will definitely be able to hack it, but as you said, don't wanna mess up the work machine.

Good luck.
