Old republic on mac

I know what your thinking, why game on a Mac when you can get on a Windows, well I for one was a IT student at the time and I though it would be a great idea to get my self to grips with another operating system. Now that is done, I do see my self going back to the ways to a windows computer eventually when I can put the money together. Almost two years ago I bought my self a Mac book Pro. This was brilliant for while I was in University but now that SWTOR is just over two months away it wasn't looking good! Especially seeing as their won't be a mac client. This being said their is still hope at the end of the tunnel, I decided to boot camp my mac and allow it to dual boot both Windows 7 and Mac snow leopard. Once Windows 7 was installed and all the drives I got onto the web and googled "Can I Run It." Once on there I search for "Star Wars: The Old Republic." After taking the test the results seem to be in my favor for now! Below you can see that my 2009 MacBook Pro should be able to run SWTOR.


This being said I am going to start saving up just in case I find out that I cannot run it on my MacBook Pro. 

Now that the Weekend beta is being released to everyone that has signed up, I will be doing a update so stay tuned!
