So, my mac book pro failed on me a few weeks ago. After numerous failed attempts at repairing it, Apple decided it was a lemon and since I was still under apple care, they decided to replace it with a brand new model. God did I get lucky...

I was wondering, would XIV run on these specs?

Processor: 2.53 GHz intel core i5
Memory: 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M w/ 256MB & Intel HD w/ 288MB

I realize that these aren't very impressive but I wanted to know what you guys thought. I'm not expecting to be able to play on this thing, but if I can (even on the lowest settings) that would be cool.

I just thought I'd ask before wasting my time trying to partition my drive, install windows, and run the benchmark.
