I've just used a generic copy of Cider (a template of you will) from the bay. You just have to copy some files into the appropriate directories and BAM! PM me sir. I will help :)

Cider appears to be real crap. I've downloaded the Mac-version of Prince of Persia 2008 which uses Cider and I can only run it in 1024x768 or max 1280x1024 with mid-quality textures although I've got a 2.95 GHz Dual-Core. But if I quit the game I can see in Activity Monitor (which is running all the time on my system) that Cider was using less than the half power of my cpu. Seems that Cider is really bad written, and I heard that it's optimized for nVidia gfx cards.

Here you can see that's really only a Windows game wrapped in an MacOS X .app:

Maybe, but your hardware specs are lower than mine. And I if see that cpu-intensive software is using only a bit of the cpu power my system has this is crappy. And after all it's a bit of a fake. Only to wrap a Windows game in piece of Mac environment is no good example of using the Mac as real game platform, you also could do the same with Crossover Games. Games like Lego Star Wars or Lego Indiana Jones are games with real Mac-engines, and so they're running much better.
