How well would Unreal Engine 3 work with my computer?

[TelaCorp]

I have a Mac Book Pro, 4 GB memory, Snow Leopard. I was wondering how well wine would run the Unreal Engine 3. The game it would run is from steam, if that helps. I have heard the game is important too, so here's the website for reference: http://www.chivalrythegame.com/
thank you for your time and help,

The most important thing is your graphics card. A recent 15-inch macbook pro should be powerful enough to run that game.

I have a Mac Book Pro, its 2 years old. almost exactly. I am worried about buying the game if it won't run well on my computer. Please give me some advice.

not enough info to go on... and using Wine may or may not work as well as it should... or at all. There is little people can tell you but guesses until someone actually tries it.

You need to know your GPU though, and you haven't given us enough info to go off of. I don't recall the exact steps on Snow Leopard, but go to the Apple menu and About this Mac and you should be able to find More Info including the GPU.

you mean this? NVIDIA GeForce 320M

I have a MBP with a 320m I used to use a lot, and it always ran things in Wine very well. Its still very low end for today.

Looking at the minimum requirements for the game, you don't really have one fast enough to meet minimum requirements, even if you were running Windows. You'll lose some performance if you get it running in Wine... so I think even if you can get it working, it will run very very poorly.

also, according to a "can i run it?" website, I can run this program with all the lowest settings with my graphics card. so, i ask "Can I play this game with my computer?" are there any other specifications? I don't understand much about computers, so please tell me if I can run this game with WINE.
Thank You,

It appears that the graphics are so good it kills my computer, but is there a way to make it work?
