Oh dang!!!! Your graphics card SHOULD work well if you run Mac version of the game. Why do you still buy the game for Windows when you have a mac and your mac can ACTUALLY run it?

Don't waste time with Parallels; it's just not good enough. Use bootcamp and a proper copy of Windows XP.

I don't understand. His computer is iMac and this should run the game. Why he buy a window version and run in on the mac? It's a waste, in my opinionGorath Alpha wrote...

lol
you're absolutely right, but the thing is I borrowed this game from my brother, so why buying a game twice?
gorath alpha (or anybody) do you know any solution?

Emulation is not the way to play games. Boot camp is the way to go. Far better than dividing resources.

With Parallels, your conputer has to:
- Run MacOS
- Run Parallels
- Run Windows
- Run game
Basically, you are doing the same as playing the Mac Cider port, (replace "Parallels" with "Cider/WINE") except that you ALSO have to run Windows. Even if you could run it, it should be even slower than the Mac version, which is already slower than the Win version. (although things have improved considerably with 1.04 (at least for me))
With BootCamp you only have to:
- Run Windows
- Run game
Which, as others said, doesn't waste resources/processor time on other things.
Besides, BootCamp is free, since you already have Windows. The only disadvantage is that you have to re-boot in order to change systems.
It could also be (from my experiences with Virtual PC), that Parallels doesn't "translate" your graphic card correctly (so DA thinks it's one it doesn't support), or doesn't meet the 3D engine (or DirectX) requirements and is thus useless for this kind of games. (But I could be wrong, I think that depends on the version of Parallels you have)
