If you play in lowest settings, (800×600 ALL LOW) it might work. Keep in mind that your problem will be memory. From my experience, the better I wanted the graphics, the more system memory I needed (not only video memory).

If you can afford, I’d suggest that you get one 1GB stick with macbookpro (make sure it is not 2 sticks of 512MB). If you go with a 512MB, in the future, you won’t be able to upgrade it to 2 GB, as there are only 2 slots in the machine.

However, whether you want the 1GB or 512MB, you can buy a 1GB stick for around $80 on Newegg.com.

I have a few problems with BF2 on my Mac Book Pro. I got a 2Gz, 1GB Memory, 256MB video.

1. When I play 768×1024 HIGH with x6 AA. The game plays great except it lags (literally pauses) frequently. I have a feeling that the video card handles the game great, but not the memory. What do you guys think?

2. Has any of you plugged in the headphones and still heard the speakers working?

3. I keep on getting a USB Driver problem. It seems that the right driver is not installed for a specific USB. Does anyone know if Apple released a patch for Windows drivers?

So has anyone got BF2 running in the Parrells program? So you don’t have to reboot inot windows to get it going?

I spent all weekend ripping my hair out over this macbook soundcard driver problem, by real issue was that I need to use skype. Anyway, after trying different driver, and failing at getting a bluetooth headset working I resorted to buying a cheap usb phone that has mic and headphone sockets. The one I bought had no name, it’s a real cheap chinese thing but it needs no additional drivers under XP as it installs as a generic USB sound device!

Now I can use Windows XP as my main operating system on the macbook, something I could not do unless I could get skpe to work.

Well… no. I dont have any data as to the performance of a USB headset via a macbook pro to BF2. Hes using a Dull Pc with a P4 processor. This being said, however, i dont know why it wouldnt work with the Macbook, unless theres some issue regarding USB support in Boot Camp. I would be interested to find out what happens if you do use the USB headset with the Macbook.

2Ghz with 7200rpm 100GB drive. At the time of the test, it had 1GB of ram but I’ve since upgraded to 2GB ram.
