StarCraft II - Native or Parallels?

[dingdongbubble]

Hi,

I want to play StarCraft II but I don't know how it will run better on my computer: natively on Lion or through Parallels on Windows XP. I have an 8GB MBP 13" mid 2009.

natively on Lion will run MUCH better.

Thanks for your reply. And how do you expect the performance to be when I play through Lion on my computer specifically? It has a 9400m.

It will be fully playable on low settings.

Native used to suck for me but they released a patch and it's been fine since, so I guess they addressed a mac issue.

Star Craft II is really a good game but have never tried to played this game before...Now I am looking for its links so will try to play this game next.

The upcoming 1.5 patch performs significantly better then any previous mac version of the game. The beta is available now to try out.

I was downloading the "Arcade 1.5 Beta" but for some reason, even if the game itself doesn't spike my processor, Blizzard's downloader always does. Why? I don't see a need for my laptop's fans to cause a tornado in my house while Blizzard downloads a patch...
