Obsessable and Wardojo blogs have recently visited the question of ¡°can I play Warhammer on a MacBook? You can read the full article at below! This is a question I have pondered a lot myself. With the ability to use Bootcamp to run windows, MAC users can now use windows-based software. The only limitations seem to be hardware rather than software compatibility. So does the new Macbook and Macbook Pro have enough horsepower to play WAR?

One of the questions that has been on everyone's minds since Apple announced their new laptops on Tuesday has been whether the improved NVIDIA graphics cards that Steve Jobs spent so much time discussing on stage would mean that Apple's newer laptops would make good gaming machines. While it's unlikely that Apple is going to make any large moves towards becoming a new gaming platform to rival the current PC market, these new graphics cards combined with OS X's Boot Camp, which allows you to install Windows XP or Vista on a separate partition on your Mac's hard drive, allow Mac owners to install all the PC games they want on that partition. The big question is: can the MacBook really handle the graphics required by graphic-intensive games built for PC gaming machines?

Obsessable answers with a tentative yes. We installed Windows XP Professional on a 32GB partition on our new 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo powered MacBook with 2GBs of RAM. Then, we installed Warhammer Online Age of Reckoning, a MMPORG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Game), that was released in September and has some very impressive graphics. We hit one snag in installation when the installer told us that there were not adequate permissions to continue, however, navigating to the Program folder in Windows and creating a new game folder to install into fixed the problem. After the 13GB game (yes, it's a big game) was fully installed, we launched it, and the video below shows what we experienced.

A few notes on the video before you watch it: For some reason, the reflectiveness of the screen is more noticeable on video than in person. The odd yellow looking face and eyes appearing in the corner of the screen are from a painting on an easel that was behind me when I was filming, and I didn't notice it until I was reviewing the video. Also, any pixelation in the video is compression artifacts from the MPEG-4 Sanyo camera, iMovie editing, and compressing and uploading to YouTube. In person, there was no pixelation during game play, just a few jittery moments when I had the texture mapping graphics set to their highest and most detailed. These were very few and far between, however.
