Just wondering if anyone else has installed Vista on Boot Camp and tried playing Age of Mythology (Titans expansion) in it. On my black MacBook (Core Duo, 2 GB RAM), the game plays fine for a few minutes, then every 30 seconds or so it freezes, the screen blanks, then reappears and continues as normal. THis happens about a dozen times or so until it finally crashes to the desktop with an error about Age of Mythology having to close. Back in the desktop, meanwhile, there are a bunch of messages waiting for me about how the video driver crashed but Windows oh-so-cleverly recovered (that must have been what all the freezes/blackouts were earlier).

I wonder if people with black MacBooks are having the same trouble, and also people with other Intel-based Macs like the iMac, etc. I suppose a new video driver would help if there was one... anyway any comments or possible solutions would be appreciated.

Thanks... I hadn't checked there, but it doesn't seem to address this issue.
