Warren Peace Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Are any of the currently available apple laptops (G4 models) able to play Combat Mission? (I.e. boot up in system 9 and have compatible video cards). Warren 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmead Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Sadly no, all new G4 Laptops will not boot in OS9. You need to go back a few generations to the early Titanium Powerbooks to get decent CMBO video performance and OS9 booting. You can for a while still buy a 14" iBook with 32mb of video ram and OS9 booting and they are quite cheap. They are alos more than adequate processor wise for running the current crop of CM products. The 12" iBook is also good but the screen is a bit on the small side. Hope that helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aikidorat Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 I have an old G3 iBook, 12inch screen, 600MHz, and it plays CM just fine (8M video ram). I stay away from huge battles, but since I dont like them anyway, I dont miss them. it does take a bit of time to crank through the turn calculations, but very usable. and I like the smaller form factor for travel, etc. small, light package. I highly recommend the iBook (I run OSX for everything except CM) dave 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tar Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 TomW is perhaps the most knowledgeable about this, but I think that the limit is the 800Mhz G4 Titanium PowerBook, with 32MB of video RAM. This works quite well, but is not a currently selling model. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Ibook is probably your best bet nowadays. CM is not altivec enhanced so there is little speed gain by the G4 architecture. +SP?_ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
