Trying to run command and conquer 4 for PC via WINE for mac.. It keeps complaining about a disk not been in the drive. Its a downloaded version from EA online..

I had absolute hell getting Wine to recognise any DVD content and gave up. My advise is to either run Parallels and give as much resources to it as you can, or use BootCamp. Either method have in my experience both resulted in better performance over Wine.

Ok I'll ditch it then. Theres something called Crossover which looks good but its got no lion support

Ive used Parallels before and I was massively disappointed with it. Maybe ok on a big MacPro with resources to shed.

Virtualization just requires plenty of RAM. I run Parallels on a 13" MBP with 8GB RAM. 4GB for OSX and 4GB for Windows and its no slouch.

We're talking about running a intense game like Command and Conquer 4 though?

Is it possible to run bootcamp with Lion GM?
