    Hello again everyone!

    I will be purchasing a Mac Book in January. I mainly need it for programming, but I also want it to be able to run this game at the highest settings without issues. I know it is early to be asking this but since I will be making a significant purchase prior to the game's release I was hoping to get some help in my selection.

    Thanks in advance,

    Denchfeng

    Ask again in ~6 Months, Uber is still far from the point where they can even begin to try and figure out the requirements.

    I really doubt a Mac Book is going to be able to properly max this out, though as he said we don't really know yet.

    Okay. First, you'll need a CPU. Then you'll need some RAM. A video card takes care of all the visuals. A hard drive will help so that you don't have to download the entire game every time. It's a good idea to attach these devices to one another, so you'll need some kind of motherboard as well. Don't forget that nothing is going to work without some kind of power supply.

    I'm not even sure SMNC is geared to run on a Mac OS

    And that's why this thread is in the Planetary Annihilation board. :)

    One of the main machines I'm writing code on is my MacBook Pro. It's the one with 8gig and not the ultimate fast processor. So I expect the game to run decently here.

    Remember though, we are going for a game that scales up in a huge way.

    Thank you very much! I'll get the best MacBook I can get at the time then. ^_^

    I can't wait. I need to start learning Objective-C to write apps for Apple Products.
