BF2 and CSS aren't going to run all that great on the Macbook mainly because of the lack of dedicated GPU. They will run, but the performance will be noticeably worse.

Thanks for the replys. I was looking around on youtube and came across this video of osmeone running css on a mb the same specs as what im looking at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ7xE3PTzaA seems to run pretty well. Well thanks again for the replys, im eagerly awaiting my macbook

edit: actually im getting 1gig of ram rather than the 512mb that there running on it that video

Hi,
I am very keen on Diablo II LoD and would like to know, what I can expect from a MacBook 2 GHz, 1GB RAM regarding this game?

Could you please help me?

Thx

I'm guessing that person also had 2 gigs of ram in that macbook. BF2 won't even launch and CSS wil run slowly on 512-1 gig seeing as the macbook is very ram dependent.

Well, O.K.

I think you will have to explain me, what BF2 and CSS is and what this has to do with D2 LoD and than I will understand...

Thx again

EDIT: I saw the link - CSS stands for Counter Strike, Source, am I right? - Well, if this game runs, I think Diablo II should also...

Nevertheless I would be grateful for experience-stories...

If you look at the video, right at the very start it says that there running on 512mb of ram
