Terrell [BT] Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Is it possible to run E&B on an Apple computer. My current PCs are getting a bit old, and I wonder if I should rule out a Mac as a replacement. If so how is it done, and is it a royal PITA that's not worth the effort. I've heard that they can play at least some Windows games with the proper software, but not sure if this is one of them or if it's worth the effort.

Amethyst Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 I don't run EnB on my Mac (which I use as a second machine for internet/vent/spreadsheet) but because I use Parallels I do know I have been advised that Parallels will not run with the latest Mac OS beta. Mavericks is fine though. Parallels will one day catch up. VM is also an alternative. Be aware you will need to obtain a Windows op sys to install into the Parallels/Mac partition and the way OS bloats these days you will very easily run out of disk space, either on the Mac side or the Windows side!! If you buy a Mac then get the largest disk and RAM you can afford. I am a total Mac fan. I only run a Windows laptop purely for EnB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amethyst Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Update: Parallels Desktop 10 for Mac just released. Compatible with Yosemite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7dragoon Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 I have run E&B under both Parallels & Bootcamp, and it runs well under both. It does (obviously) run better under bootcamp than Parallels. I have done so on both 2010 Mac Pro & 2009 Imac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
