2007-12-25 Guild Wars

Hm... I got a copy of *Guild Wars*. It requires Windows. I do have an old Windows 2000 CD lying around somewhere. And I heard you can use Apple’s Boot Camp (no longer gratis) or rEFIt (no Mac drivers) to dual book. I’ll have to look into this.

rEFIt

Too bad it doesn’t exist for the Xbox 360.

I’d install it on my Mac Mini. “You can pretty much expect a solid 15-20 FPS from this machine running winxp in boot camp.” ¹ I wonder how much space I’d have to set aside for this? My current main disc had around 3G of space. I moved my picture collection (”iPhoto Library”) to the external harddisk. Now I have more than 8G available. I wonder whether 5G is enough for Windows and a game or two...

• Update*: A friend came over and brought his laptop along. According to the specs on the box, the laptop should have been good enough. But somehow my wireless network wasn’t detected, so we had to work around that; then the graphics card was not supported, and we tried anyway; and then it seemed to download forever, and crash with a graphics driver error after character generation... All in all we must have spent an hour or two with the laptop without getting it to work.

So... Try the Mac Mini, or an old machine at work? Hm...
