Okay, so ^^

I have a PC, that I regularly play GW on, but I've also got a Macbook.
I'd really like to be able to play on it, but I'm not sure how.

It's the latest 13" model, running OS X 10.5.6
I can give all the specs if needed.

Is there a way to run windows games/applications on my mac?

Yes there is. You have to have a program like Boot Camp to do it though.

Okay
So then I'd just need a windows XP or Vista disc?


And, how many G is recommended for the windows part of my hard drive, as I can divide it.
I just need enough to run GW.

Yes, you need to find a friend with an XP or Vista disc. AS for how much gigs to put on it, up to you. You only need enough for basic processes and GW. But I have never done it myself, my brother did though. I think he put like 20g or so on the Windows partition and the rest for the Mac partition.

Another suggestion may be Crossover. It's very similar to Wine for Linux, which I use and does not require a Windows CD key.

Also i think crossover is not fast enough to play gw decent. Bootcamp runs windows natively including the right drivers for mac hardware. If you really want to play gw normally i would suggest bootcamp.
