    I've played it on someone else's MacBook (2.0ghz, 1gb ram)

    Turn down the Resolution and Particle sliders to about 1/2 way.
    In skirmish, don't use more than 3 AI players.
    It will go down to 3-2 fps when multiple land mines explode for about 5 seconds.

    In conclusion, as long as you don't max your settings, it will be more than playable, certainly better than what my old original eMac did.

    Generals? ...it's a pretty old and undemanding game. Just turn the settings down until things start running smoothly.
