[luis10689 0]

whats the easiest way to install gta 4 on a macbook pro? bootcamp(windows vista or windows7) or using a parallels? and is it easy to mod the cars on gta 4

Get some Windows emulator thing, like bootcamp and google+read some windows guides for GTA IV.

Modding cars is fairly easy, just make sure you don't download high-poly cars of destruction. (in other words, don't mod more than 1-2 cars)

Just so you know, you can't run GTA IV natively, and you never will be able to, since GTA IVs engine doesn't support OpenGL.

If you have ANY questions, feel free to either pm me, or reply here, I will be glad to help you with any mac/bootcamp/windows related problems,

No, it does use all your system specs, but virtualisation programs have the overhead of emulating real hardware, which makes them slower (unless it's paravirtualised, but that's more enterprise-grade virtualisation..)

Ahh i see, thanks for filling in that gap for me Jay, but yeah again, i suggest that you use boot camp since you are simply partitioning the disk for a separate OS.
