I just found out Steam is now available on Macs, but don't support the older Powerbooks... I stopped playing CS a few years ago when I sold my PC, and would like to try and play again.. Anybody know a workaround to run steam on a Powerbook without intel? I plan on buying a new iMac eventually but thats probably a few months away..
Got a tip for us?

Please don't make two threads for the same issue, the other one can be found here.
Darwine, because we heard you like slow software so we put a compatibility layer on your compatibility layer so you can emulate while you emulate!

I have managed to get Half-Life 1 running on a PowerBook. It required me to install VirtualPC and Windows XP. With that setup I could install HL from an old CD copy I had. The game was able to run using software rendering, but was a little slow and there were mouse tracking issues.
It's not a perfect setup, especially for the competitive nature of Counter Strike.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the point of a forums to get an answer in most cases? So why would one limit oneself on where to post to find an answer, especially if the original query is posted in area where I am sure few people venture to explore these days... Im new to this forum, but that hardly means this is my first forum experience. Typically when a question in raised one would use every outlet at their disposal. I didn't post the question in an irrelevant or non associative area so I don't see what the big deal is.. Wouldn't it be more useful to just ignore the second post if you've seen it already since I am sure that many other have not?
Because a lot of issues are relevant to more than one area, if everyone did it the forums would get pretty clogged up.
Interesting, I've never signed up to a forum (maybe 5, in total) that didn't have this rule.
Why split the discussion in half? This just makes things more cumbersome for anyone searching a similar issue. Also, I stumbled across this rendition of the thread by accident (I saw the exact same title and assumed it was the exact same thread - how foolish).
Same here, I saw this thread title and wondered why it was in two different locations.
Forum moderators normally will merge the two threads into one or delete one of them, they don't allow people to start the same thread over and over.
