Hello Tech Section :)

[Apple]

The tech section is one of my favourite places of a forum so you'll probably see me posting around here a lot. Anyway as you can probably tell by my name I'm an Apple fan. Nothing wrong with any of the other leading technology brands but I just love Apples products, the design of them and also the operating systems. While I have a thread going I was just wondering if there is a way to get GTA IV on my Mac, the graphics wouldn't be bad at all I don't think. Thanks.

The only way I can imagine it being possible would be to use bootcamp and run it on windows.

Mwahahaha another droid for my Apple army

I used Parallels to play that game on my iMac, worked quite good.

Thanks. Would running it on windows effect the overall performance on my Mac?

I'll look into Parallels, I should be fine providing it isn't too complicated. Also I think he'd have a hard time eating me for breakfast.

Parallels is solid!

Oh, and Matt has an incredible mouth, which can accomplish many things

I'd suggest running it in Boot Camp; making another partition on your disk with a copy of windows to play it on. One of your Mac OS X install disks should have all the boot camp utility software and drivers on.

To start a Boot Camp installation go to Applications -> Utilities -> Boot Camp Assistant (then choose how big you want your partition), put your Windows disk in, restart + install, boot into windows (Hold Alt from the start-up chime), put your Max disk in and install the software/drivers. Done.

You could of course go for virtualization as HotelUser suggested, though it's likely to be a little more sluggish than running it natively using Boot Camp.

GTA IV would run terribly in Parallels IMO. As Apolva posted, I'd go for bootcamp

Welcome to the Tech section... let's just say, there can be some awesome "debates"

GTA can run okay in Parallels, but admittedly it would be better in bootcamp.

Indeed, and ***** is always wrong

Technology debates are my favourite, on this forum do Mac vs Windows threads just get closed before they even start lol?

Doesn't sound too complicated but I don't have a windows disk.

Either 'aqquire one' or buy one - it's not too expensive these days ;P
