    It can, to a certain extent as the Macbooks come with an Intel GMA X3100. Don't expect anything good though.

    I have a Vaio CR190 with a GMA X3100 and I had to lower all settings to play CS:S comfortably.

    Are you running a new SR Macbook with the X3100, or an older model with the GMA950?

    either way it would have trouble playing quake 4. expect to be playing CS:S on mostly lower settings.
