The Old Republic

[Nitro]

What's everyone's opinions on The Old Republic?

Yay or Nay?

[Ironman21]

I really like the trailer for the game. It looks really frackin sweet. Although, I was disappointed when they said it is unlikly that it will come out for mac.

[Darth Vader]

I believe it's going to be amazing.

Can't Boot Camp emulate XP? The drivers may be a problem too but it's probably worth a try.

[Ironman21]

that's what I'm thinking. I think I will get a copy of windows 7 this summer and install it on a new macbook pro

[Scott]

(shutter) I hate the thought of using Windows 7...especially after Snow Leopard

[Ironman21]

Well, I've heard some good things, some bad things. However, I think that it will be decent enough. If I see that 7 isn't good, I'll "steal" a copy of XP from my grandparents

[Scott]

XP is alright, still doesn't compete to me against OS X

[Nitro]

Windows 7 is way better than XP.

[Scott]

I still find it too graphic intensive. How fast your CPU and how much RAM do you have? If you don't mind me askin'.

[Nitro]

I have an AMD 64 X2 5000+ 2.6ghz with 4 GB PC6400 DDR2 Ram.

I also have an BFG 8800 GTS OC 512mb video card which helps

[Scott]

It works well on 4GB of RAM? Maybe they fixed better than I thought. I'll have to try it some more.

you might be able to get away with a virtual box:

its how i'm able to programme in linux whilst owning a vista machine (linux kicks vistas ass in that department ) however i'd assume the old republic is alot more intense and may go beyond the capabilites of the box.

Personally i'm yay but don't own a polygon muncher just a laptop that can barely play games.

Wait can this installed on any computer? And does it do what I think it does?

as far as i know you can install it on any computer, and all it does it sort of simulates dos so you can install another operating system in there and run it.

i.e I run linux in the virtual box even though my computer is primarilly windows vista

check out thier FAQ, might give you more info.
