i say NO.
cuz mac and xp has different window sof system. yes. u can use ms office on mac but i dont think u can play sro.
IF gaymax use more money to expand sro for all windows, u will have a chance

The answer is no... unless you can get windows running on a mac. Even if you could, there may be hardware issues that will render your efforts useless. But hey it's worth a shot.
I remember there was a way to get os/x running on a pc. Not sure if theres a way to do it vice versa...

Ummm anyone ever played on a new mac. I don't know about silkroad but you can run windows on a mac. They have their own software that you can reboot and start windows or macs os straight out of the box. I don't know why all the Mac bashing is going on. It is obvious not too many ppl have played on a mac within the last 20 years

Naww, take a hammer and have some fun on your mac
Then you can buy a real computer.
You can actually decide what operating system you want. And "gasp" you can choose what hardware you want. From any company, dont' have to pay that overpriced proprietary garbage

i think this thread was about somthing else than a fight between pc & mac?
OnTopic: No i dont think its possible, if you really want to play sro you might need to get a pc.

You can partition off part of your Hard-Drive to run Windows. In which case, it is possible.

Hardware might still throw an error though but best solution imo.

Your best bet as others have mentioned is to dual boot. This will work assuming you're using the newer macs based off of x86 chips.
You can try to emulate windows but it'll be _very_ slow as people who tried to emulate windows on linux have talked about. The Direct3d driver calls have to be translated to either software or opengl to access the hardware (which is a slow process.)

If you have OS X install bootcamp and then a full version of WIN XP. Boot into windows and give it a go. Please let us know
