DJRhys* Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I.e http://www.apple.com/uk/macbook/white/ that one. How well does it run? Does it run the 3D Game? Does it run the large database? Is it slow, or is it fast, or just normal? Please let me know as I am considering getting one early next year. Rhys Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helicon Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I highly advise you to stretch to a unibody not a white one (I have both) otherwise no 3d for you currently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your unibody Macbook's playing the 3D with no probs? That's good. Is it just limited to low res though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCarty13 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I've posted my specs a few times on the board. I'm running the large data base all nations all leagues, no probs on my system.

themaningreen Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 It runs ok on my macbook, albeit without the 3d. I have about 25 leagues running on full detail. Granted the processing is not super fast but I like it that way as I can do other work inbetween. I don't have any stuttering 2d like some other users either.

Sure you don't mean 25 leagues set to playable? I only have one league on full detail and with dual 3ghz processors it still takes 5 mins to process fixtures ..

DJRhys* Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 I don't have one yet, is it worth paying extra for the 2.0GHz Unibody ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Gribble Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I've got a 2.0gHz Macbook Pro and it all runs impeccably, graphics are smooth on high detail and I haven't had any problems with the speed of loading or anything. It does have a ATI Radeon X1600 gfx card though, so that might explain the graphics. Bonus of mac's is the fact the the copy protection is just the CD in the drive, no activation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Gribble Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Macbooks graphics are "Intel GMA X3100 graphics processor with 144MB of DDR2 SDRAM shared with main memory3" My Macbook Pro's is: Chipset Model: ATY,RadeonX1600 Type: Display Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 256 MB From my limited knowledge of graphics cards, looks like the new Macbook's have built in graphics sharing RAM with the rest of the computer, whereas the Macbook Pro has a separate graphics card with 256mb of memory just for graphics.

Yeah, I think it does share the RAM. Although the RAM is DDr3 in the new ones so 1066MHz FSB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the legacy 'white' Macbooks. The new aluminium unibody ones have a NVIDIA GeForce 9400M and can play things like Quake, COD and Doom etc but think its still shared with the main RAM memory. Like you say, Macbook Pro's have a dedicated graphics card as well as the 9400M. They use the dedicated one first and then should they need more umph it starts to use the main RAM I think. Can someone who has one of the new aluminium Macbooks and patch 9.2 confirm that they can play 3d on high detail? Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageNick Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I've got a new MacBook (with the 9400M) and FM 2009 with the 9.2 patch. 3D pitch runs perfectly on max settings in both windowed and full screen mode Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlawrence00 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I have a 2ghz Intel Core Duo Macbook w/ 2gb ram, runs perfectly. Gets a little hot now and then. (btw I do not run 3d - i think this would be to much for the graphics card). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the white macbook and I use the 2D TV view, which works fine in windowed mode but is a bit jittery in the full screen, but 3D seemed fine too, it is smooth and fast with loading and everything.

Graham FM Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 if your not sure if your pc or laptop will run any game including fm09 go onto (can you run it.com) it will tell u everything even if your graphics are good enough, enough ram etc......
