I want to play GTA 4 on my Mac, so i'm thinking of making a bootcamp partition (my VMware fusion won't be able to run it). But i don't know how much of my specs to partition?
I have a Windows XP CD though, and i'm only going to be using it for games.
Help?
 
Thanks for your feedback, I'm also wondering how much RAM i should give to the partition?
Do you recommend playing GTA 4 on the Mac?

Btw, i have a mid 2010 13" MacBook Pro C2D with 4GB of RAM and the 320M graphics card.

You dont *give RAM to a windows partition when you boot up, it will use what you have in the MBP. And no i do not recommend playing GTA IV on a mac. It requires a very fast machine as it is a poorly coded xbox port. You would be playing at low settings.
 
oh gotcha. Stupid question sorry, i just remember giving RAM to VM Fusion, so that's why i presumed that.

I see, do you recommend any similar games for the Mac then?
 
GTA 4 is a terrible port, even on a pc like mine it slows down a lot. I wouldnt bother trying it tbh.
