    It'll work when you install Windows via BootCamp.

    I know what you mean, and I can do that, but i was going for it works alone with the Apple OS itself.

    It will definitely run on the bootcamp windows xp. For sure.

    Dude please don't be amongst the ignorant and say that there are no games on Mac. That kind of statement says you don't know that gaming exists on a Mac and you only know what you have heard. The OP wouldn't have asked if they had no games for the Mac.
    Try COD2, Quake4 Doom3, Unreal, WOW, C&C, Battlefield. Starcraft 2 will be released the same time on the Mac as it will be for Windows. Now if I misunderstood your reply to the OP then I apologize but it's so alarming that even on a Mac discussion board I find that people still don't know these games or any games exist on the Mac based on word of mouth from ignorance. BTW these games are not ports.
