Hey Mikoyan, mate I wish it did work on Mac.

I bougt it for my school (I was forced to do it,), and I was wondering if it will work(it is a mac with an intel dualcore ), and yes it looks good.
So then I need to install windowsxp on it right?

You might want to have a dual OS boot, but you have to ask someone esle because i never had it, always 1 OS for me and it sticks.

Mikoyan, I have never done it myself, but I am pretty sure you'll need to set up BootCamp, and then buy a copy of Windows XP and install it (I'm not sure if an OEM version will work, though).

I'm not sure how it will perform, particularly video performance.

thanks guys for the info

With Boot Camp and Windows XP there is no reason why it shouldn't work - and indeed the Core 2 Duo seems to perform very well with Lomac.

You might experience graphics card issues, though . . . . Macs aren't gaming machines, so don't usually come with powerful graphics cards.

Where they do come with conventional graphics cards, they're often underclocked as regards the PC version.

So yes, you could do it, but it would have to be a real labour of love . . . .

I dont know. I dont like Macs at all.

I have seen screenshots of lockon running on Macs, but i dont know how to do it.

Your best bet is to install XP. other than that, I have no idea.
