Can my macbook play this? (graphics card problem)

from Sins Forums
I have bootcamp with Windows XP. My specs are:

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz
2.5GB of RAM

Now here's the tricky part.. the graphics on the macbook is really weak. It's an Intel GMA 950 with 64MB of "shared system memory"

Yeah, I am running it on bootcamp. All settings at low, and I can't zoom in too far (it doesn't like masses of weapons fire) but it runs (and kicks butt!)

Sweet! Have you tried running it in Parallels?

So it runs in Boot Camp on a GMA 950 MacBook? That's spectacular, because I didn't think it would.

Thats great, because that means that my MacBook Air will be able to run it pretty well - GMA X3100.

As far as Parallels, no chance in hell, since Parallels has almost nonexistent DirectX support. I tried it in VMWare Fusion (which has decent DX support) on my MacBook Pro (nVidia GeForce m8600 w/ 256 MB RAM), but it was slow and choppy.

So, to summarize:

Boot Camp, even on MacBook = OK.
Parallels = No way
VMWare = works, but not well
