Hi Luis,
> my black mac has a lowly intel GMA 950 w/ 64MB video ram.
I see - so that's the difference. That Intel GMA 950 chipset is much older than the Intel 3000 series.
On Windows, MoI can actually run on a GMA950, but on the Mac the display system that it uses needs to have certain OpenGL features available, and most likely the GMA950 just does not have the particular OpenGL function that is needed.
I'm sorry but I'm not too optimistic about making it work.
It looks like the MacBook line switched away from using the Intel GMA 950 back in 2007, so as far as I can tell I can't actually buy a new machine from Apple that has that graphics chipset in it anymore.
Right now to use MoI on that machine would involve using Boot Camp to boot to Windows, then MoI would run there.
On top of all that, the GMA950 is basically at the extreme far low end of things as far as 3D graphics computing horsepower goes. It's just not a very good system to use for 3D graphics oriented programs.
