I have a Real Deal Slots game I would like to put on my Mac but it is for Windows. Would this do harm ?

You can put the CD in and it won't do any harm, but it won't run on the Apple Mac UNLESS you have a new Intel based Mac. The Intel Macs CAN run Windows. One of the best programs for doing this is Parallels. You can run OS X and Windows on the same computer at the same time. With Parallels you can probably run that Windows game.

The new macs that have intel chips, SURE CAN. I am playing some of my friends PC games right now while surfing with Internet Explorer 7. The coolest thing is that If you don't have a Windows XP or Vista disk there is a program called Crossover that lets you play quite a few games with out even having Windows on your machine, best of both worlds since you don't have to worry about all those possible security issues. You do have to install software to run it but it's pretty straight forward.

If you do not have the Intel based Mac, you can buy a program for about $80 from the apple store that allows you to run Windows programs.

Yes, with the new MACs you can, though you have to install some software...right now there are 3 or more way to do it.

There are also some free options as well. Most of the games and software run natively meaning you won't notice a drop in performance, the old PPC macs ran natively so, you noticed a bit of a slowdown with graphic intesive applications, but not anymore. You can also run Solaris, Linux and pretty much any operating system you throw at it.

Windows runs on only the new Macs with the Intel chip set, and it works great ...my next computer.....like getting two for the price of one.

It probably would not do anything but it wont harm your computer.
It wouldn't work anyway. Only on Windows. They should have that game for Mac computers. Check on Google.

You can run it on an Intel Mac, but it would run slow. It won't harm anything though.
