Running Windows games on a Mac Boot Camp. Boot Camp is a familiar friend for veteran Mac users, a feature made possible by Apple’s switch from Power PC processors to Intel a decade ago. The Mac may be a better computer than a windows box, but even so, most games don’t support OS X. Even on Steam, the leader in cross-platform computer game support, most games run only on Windows. I swear to Jesus Christ, this is as simple as it gets. Thank to Tanner's geniusness, we were able to install the (less dumb version of Bootcamp) application 'Wine Bottler' which is used for converting any Windows application to a Mac compatible one--precisely which we'd done to Steam. Once this is done, you can play any Windows-only Steam game on your Mac. It's EASY, it's SIMPLE, and it will only take 15 minutes to a half an hour of your time--which is worth it for an eternal revolutionization of gaming for your face!! Once again, thank you dear Tanner--check him out in my Featured Channels list. I hope we were able to help you guys out! So long story short my wife wants a Mac. I have my existing PC build which Im pretty sure can be a hackintosh. My question is can I run Windows Based Steam games on Mac with Parallels or another piece of sofware? I know it may be pushing it but I don't want to sacrifice any game performance. I don't want to dualboot. System: Intel Core i5 2500k @ Stock ASRock Gen3 Extreme3 z68 8gb G.Skill Ripjaws X (Intention to upgrade to 16gb) EVGA nVidia GeForce GTX 570 60gb OCZ Agility 3 SSD (OS) 90gb Corsair Force GT SSD (Games) 1tb Seagate/Maxtor HDD (Bulk) Linksys AE2500 Dual-Band N Adapter Dell sp2008wfp Monitor (1680x1050 res) Microsoft Curve Keyboard Logitech Wireless Notebook Mouse. So you want to run an unsupported OS on your PC, then emulate Windows on that OS. And you want to know if you can run Steam games? As with any emulated system, performance will be terrible and modern games won't be worth playing As long as you don't care about game performance you may be able to get this to work in some fashion. But to me it would seem madness to use a decent PC in this way. If you must have a Hackintosh then dual boot; but the best solution is to buy your wife a Mac Mini.

Maybe I should've used a Hackintosh tag on this:s I feel as if I have an Apple enthusiast response from ya.
