Coderus indicated that MacDX supports both Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X, and supports 'a wide range' of hardware from Rev. B iMacs on forward. This story, 'MacDX provides DirectX support for the Mac' was. The Microsoft DirectX® End-User Runtime installs a number of runtime libraries from the legacy DirectX SDK for some games that use D3DX9, D3DX10, D3DX11, XAudio 2.7, XInput 1.3, XACT, and/or Managed DirectX 1.1. Note that this package does not modify the DirectX Runtime installed on your Windows OS in.
Since I have been obsessively playing this game for the past 2 weeks, I was starting to get tired of the bland DX7 Rendering mode since I'm playing on a $3,300 computer, so I have been doing some tricks and snips to make the game run its best in Direct X 9.
For those of you new to running M&B: Warband through CXG, it is widely recommended that you run the game in Direct X 7 Mode because DX 9 mode is known to cause blocked out textures and coloration bugs. Below are a couple of tips you can apply to mount and blade to make it look and run alot better.
Keep in mind my system specs when you are comparing your results to mine:
MacBook Pro 2011 15'
2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
4GB DDR3 RAM
AMD Radeon 6750M with 2GB of VRAM
Mac OS X 10.6.6
Crossover Games 10.1
TIPS
1. If you are experiencing texture bugs or Vertex Buffer errors and have over 512 MB of VRAM on your GPU, then you need to read this: http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=7554;forum=1;msg=122431 **This fixes texture block errors in DirectX 9 but other errors still persist!**
2. There are things which do not work in Direct X 9 any way I have tried. First of all is High Quality HDR. On my video card this causes strange discolored luminescence from items in a light path. the luminescence is usually a cold blue. Second is Depth Effects. Activating this causes the blur effect to generate weird green red and yellow discoloration. To curb these issues my recommended settings are: HDR Low or Off, Depth Effects Off, Enable Instancing Off, and Enable Auto Exposure Off.
3. There is a glitch in Direct X 9 Mode that I did not notice before the fix in Tip 1, although it may very well have been there. When Environment Shadows are activated on any setting combination, there is an extremely frustrating and distracting green glow emanating from white clothing and chain mail. and other such bright, reflective surfaces. This glow ONLY occurs in the shaded part of the models, and only appears on humans and horses. The extent of this green glow was trimmed by deactivating Environment Shadows, and setting shaders to medium. I'd like to think its gone now but, and perhaps my eyes are tricking me but I do still see this green but ONLY on the Chainmail neckguard that my character wears. When testing to see how to eliminate this green I found that using Hegen in a custom battle is the fastest way to check this green value, as he is entirely coated in chainmail.

I hope these tips helped and I would highly appreciate any tips that you, the reader have discovered.

X-Plane 9 requires a computer with at least the following specifications:
- A 2GHz processor
- 1.0GB RAM (physical memory)
- 32MB VRAM (video memory on your video card)
- 10GB of hard drive space
The simulator will run on Mac OS X version 10.4 or later, Windows XP or Vista (both 32- and 64-bit), and Linux. Note, however, that when using Windows Vista, it is recommended that at least 2 GB of RAM be used.
Of course, a computer with 4 GB of RAM, a quad-core processor, and 2 GB of VRAM can be used and X-Plane will take full advantage of it. CPUs with multiple cores are useful because X-Plane will use that second core to load scenery while flying. This eliminates the tenth of a second stutter usually associated with transitioning from one scenery file to another (which is still experienced when using a single-core processor).

Now, a few notes on hardware:
Hyperthreaded CPUs are little more than marketing “hype.” The old Pentium 4 Hyperthreading chips are really just one CPU pretending to be two. This does not provide anything near the performance boost of using two discreet CPUs or a dual-core CPU.
Regarding video RAM (VRAM, present on the video card), some cheaper video cards advertise having more memory than they actually do. NVIDIA calls this TurboCache, while ATI calls it HyperMemory. The video card itself may have only 64 MB of memory, while advertising that it “supports” 256 MB of RAM. It does this by “stealing” the other 192 MB from the system RAM. While this might give some performance increase, it is nowhere near as desirable as having a true 256 MB of RAM on the video card. This is especially important for systems that barely meet the system requirements for RAM as it is—for instance, if the system has 1 GB of RAM, but 192 MB of that is being reserved for the video card, X-Plane only has 832 MB of system RAM to work with.
Also, while Intel makes a fine CPU, their integrated video cards are, at the moment, awful for X-Plane. They are the only cards at the moment that the software doesn’t support outright, though their much-hyped “Larrabee” chip could change this.

Now, about VRAM speed—the “memory bus width” of a graphics card (such as 64-, 128-, or 256-bit) indicates how many bits of data it reads at once each time it reads data. Basically, the wider this is, the faster the graphics card can draw things. Today’s most powerful high end cards have a 512-bit bus; most mid-range cards are 256-bit, and the cheapest cards are 128-bit.
