what if I dont meet minimum System Requirements?Hi all, I own a macbook (white unibody late 2009) and Im thinking of getting Call of Duty 4 for mac, where the minimum specs are:
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5.4 (Leopard)
CPU Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo
CPU Speed: 2.0 GHz
Memory: 1 GB RAM
Hard Disk Space: 8.0 GB + 1 GB Swap File
Video Card (ATI): Radeon X1600
Video Card (NVidia): GeForce FX 7300
Video Memory (VRam): 128 MB
Media Required: DVD-ROM
Peripherals: Macintosh mouse and keyboard
My macbook's specs exceed both CPU speed (2.26GHz) and Memory (2GB RAM), but my graphics card is Nvidia GeForce 9400M, and as far as I know it has no extra VRam.
Can I play the game with my macbook as it is?
If a laptop doesnt meet minimum graphics card specs, can it not play the game?
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks! -

9400M > FX7300. Don't worry about the shared memory in this case, you'll be fine
-edit there's a few YT vids showing CoD gameplay with the 9400m. Might be worth checking them out if you want to see. -

Re: what if I dont meet minimum System Requirements?Usually you'll just get a big fat "error" however sometimes it just boils down to a very very slow FPS rate.(Original post by LightElf7)
