Apple

I have had pretty good luck running Ryzom on my macbook. These are my specs: Apple Macbook Intel Duo 2ghz 2 gigs ram 128mb NVIDIA GeForce Bootcamped Windows XP Direct 3d

Basically you need to split your hard-drive into two partitions. You use one to run Apple OS and the other to run Windows XP. Follow bootcamp's instructions to install Windows XP on the second partition. After XP has been installed, you hold OPTION/ALT during start up to select the hard-drive you want to boot. Select the Windows hard-drive. Download and install Ryzom. Due to the limiting Graphics Card on my computer, I had to run the very basic graphics, everything is set to low and I have found Direct3d shows graphics better. (You can make this selection in Ryzom Configurations.) I mostly use this computer to dig, although I have gone hunting with it and have dualboxed also.
