I was wondering if people are playing Civ IV on a similar machine to mine and how it's working. I have a Macbook Core 2 Duo 2ghz processor and 1 GB of ram.
Although OS X can allocate more memory to the GMA950, depending on theapp:I got MB 2ghz C2D, 2Gb Ram and CiV4 runs ok on my Mac, a bit slow sometimes. Try Bootcamp because Graphic card will be 224 mb there
The GMA 950 allocates a base amount of 80 MB for video and boot processes at startup. In a computer configured with 512 MB of SDRAM, this leaves 432 MB of SDRAM available to Mac OS X in a standard system (configured with 512 MB SDRAM).
Mac OS X may make additional main memory available to the graphics processor for texture use beyond the base 80 MB amount mentioned above, depending on the application being used. The most common types of applications that request more system memory to be used as graphics memory are 3D and graphics-intense applications.
