Steam on Leopard?

[Marky]

Hey all,

I've been thinking on getting a macbook for ages now - and I feel that once the next update happens, I might jump on board - sell my current setup and change for the mac experience...

However, I play games through Steam and I was wondering what other mac users - that are also Steam users - do to use it on their macs?

For the best performance and experience, you'll be best off booting into Windows to play games.

You could something like Parallels but I don't think it will offer you the same performance as Windows.

I run Windows 7 on my 27" iMac and it is by far the simplist solution.

The only issue was installing windows and being stuck with a black screen. Quick google solved that though...

Does it take long to boot from Leopard into Windows?

Standard time to reboot about 45 seconds.

Ah that's good to know Shame you can't have Steam in the background whilst I use Leopard though (I.e. for friend chat etc.)
