EVE on Mac - better way?

Hi, I used to play Eve on my MacBook Pro. But from patch to patch the client get more worse. Have somebody of you an idea how to get Eve to run better on my MacBook?

Note that you should be able to run windows without doing any disk partition surgery. There are various reports online of folks being able to run EvE online using Parallels Desktop, an OSX virtualization solution.

You'll still need to have a windows license for your virtual machine, and Parallels itself isn't free, but you'll gain access to all those nifty eve windows-only tools, sitting right next to your normal osx apps.

Just make sure you have enough RAM to split between OSX and the windows VM before you take the plunge.

Unfortunately their is little you can do besides turning your graphic settings down (worked for a friend that uses a mac to play) or installing windows like errata (my friend's eventual solution). I'd just go ahead and bootcamp your mac and enjoy playing a wide range of games and a much wider choice of software.

errata.

Although CCP is making some efforts, people are desperate, and I'm afraid that you are stuck in the moment with your problem... I also have MacBook Pro, but it came to that I installed Windows 7 with BootCamp so I could run my clients :) And if you didn't know, Eve on mac is ported Windows version of a game!
..I don't remember when I reboot to OSX last time :)

Plus on OSX you are very limited with great applications like EFT, EveHQ, EveMon and similar... I was using Mac Eve Tools http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1096971 when I was on OSX, I think it is the best native app for Eve...

Hope you will find your way to enjoy this nice game :)
