I have the identical machine. The bottem line is that CMBO runs using rave instead of open GL for graphics. Although classic runs 99% of programs very well - there are some limitations - and CMBO is one of them. I'm happy to report ,however, that the game runs beautifully in Os 9.2.2, and that the GeForce 2 MX is powerful enough for me to run all the mods I want without any slowdowns. Although I use Os X exclusively now, I still restart in 9.2.2 to play CMBO - not that big of a deal. As for the classic rave extension, and having the Os' on different partitions ----- don't worry about it. Leave the extensions alone - it plays great the way it is in 9.2.2. As for the seperate partitions for different operating systems - this is a big debate on apple-centric message boards. I run both on one partition and everything works great ---- dont forget, this is the way apple sells them afterall - with both OS' on one partition. I hope this helps.

Are the other Mac users on the board stuck with low-res skies in Os 9.2.2 and GeForce2MX? It's still a great improvement over no skies with 9.2.1 - but I'm just making sure it's not just me.

I'm fairly new to CMBO and have just discovered the wonderful world of mods. So far they have all worked great, and have made the game even better. I've heard that the hi-res grass mods (velvet grass etc..)are the most demanding and can slow down game play. Have you all found this to be a problem? Also, does the same go for the hi-res photo-realistic skys? I'm useing a PowerMac G4 733 with 640 Megs of RAM and a GeForce 2MX (32 Megs)video card. Thanks in advance for your help.

Am I correct in assuming that the problems everyone is talking about involve the GeForce 3 only????? I use CM on my G4 733 with a GeForce 2MX and Os 9.2.2 and it looks beautiful at 1280 X 1024 with all the effects on. It also worked fine with 9.2.1 except for the horizon which now works great with 9.2.2
