Hi,
i’ve been thinking of purchasing a MacBook (not Pro) but i do need 3ds on it I know that I would have to run it through windows but would the MacBook have good enough specs to run it?

Here are the MacBook specs:
* 2.0GHz or 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor
* 4MB shared L2 cache running at full processor speed
* 800MHz frontside bus
* 1GB (two 512MB SO-DIMMs) of 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300); two SO-DIMM slots support up to 4GB

I would appreciate any advice and especially some from people that have tried or are currently running 3ds on their Mac via Windows…

Thank you people
