Torchlight + steam + OSX 10.6.3 = working

[Bailie]

I downloaded steam on my hackbook for fun. They are giving out portal for free and it doesn't work. Torchlight does load up and play. Its about as good as on the pc. There are a few invisible monsters and when you highlight monsters to attack them, there are some artifacts and glitches. Make sure you turn on netbook mode.

HL2 and CS2 not available

Wait a second....you downloaded steam on your OS X S10? Of course protal didn't work. Not only is it a very CPU intensive game, but you need a dedicated GPU as far as I know. Unless you were talking of another laptop you may own?
I tried to run Portal on a setup as thus:

Intel Core Duo @ 1.67 Ghz
Nvidia 7300 GS 128Mb edition
2Gb of DDR2 667Mhz RAM
5400 RPM HDD

It didn't really even run on low quality settings. If anyone has had portal work on a GMA 950, please enlighten me how!

EDIT:

I have been doing some research on this, turns out it is 100% possible! I forgot that the source engine has a DX7 mode. It makes perfect sense that it would work then on lower settings. Sorry man, I guess I am eating my words on that one!!
