Anyone tried Warcraft III on a iBook 500 (dual USB)?
Playable at all?
Thanks

The processor should be fine, it's the grpahics chip that's the problem. 8mb just won't cut it when the game requires 16  I want to play it too, but know I can't on my iBook 600.

Hopefully they will release a demo in the future.
Thanks anyway

On the IMG forums, people say they can play on these machines fine. With the options turned down, one person got it to run fine on a 400Mhz Pismo.
Check it out: <a href="http://www.insidemacgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4859&postdays=0&postorder= asc&start=0" target="_blank">http://www.insidemacgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4859&postdays=0&postorder= asc&start=0</a>
Enjoy if you decide to get it.

I played the first few scenarios on my iBook 600 (nee 500). It works fine. I'm sure at the later levels it will get pretty hairy with more units on screen, but that's what the iMac is for. =)
Future Shop gave me a free M$ Strategic Commander with the game, which unfortunately has no Mac support. I guess it's time to start writing a driver... <img border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" title="" src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" />
