Will Civ IV: Colonization run OK on a Mac with only integrated graphics (Intel HD 300
I have a Mac with a 3.3GHz i5 2500k processor, which includes integrated graphics (Intel HD 3000), but have no video card. How well will Civilization IV: Colonization run? The specs at http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sid-m...11705368?mt=12 suggest the following "Video Card (ATI): Radeon X1600 / Video Card (Nvidia): Geforce 8600". According to http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/gaming...w-32274-7.html my HD 3000 is at least equivalent to these. However, that same apple.com link says 'Intel integrated video chipsets are not supported' (but also 'Fix a crash unique to the Intel HD3000 GPU' which implies my card *will* work). Confusing... can anyone help me out?
