Age of Empires III: Maxing Out & Widescreen (HELP!)

[AaronOcean]

So I've been playing Age of Empires III on my MacBook and it has been running like water....but I want to increase the graphics. When I go into the game options and try to alter the graphics, it only has one option, the lowest specs. Does anyone know how I can choose better performance?

Also, is there a way to make the game run in widescreen vs. it's regular visuals? The black bars on the sides dont bother me really, it would be nice for them to be gone though.

Thanks!

Is this the OS X or Windows version?

I have no problems with changing the res under bootcamp on the Windows version.

you can change it to wide screen i did so but like me you have a GMA 950 and age of empires locks you out form the settings your card cant do.
