Can't help you with the mac specs (but since the game is not native to macs, there are many issues) but on a PC, make sure you have a dedicated graphics card.

The minimum specs are too low if you plan to get expansion packs (especially Seasons and Pets)
I'm familiar with that site (with the list of all Desktop Graphics Card Compatibility and Recommendations) but I can't find the video cards that on both of the computers on the list. That's why I'm asking. It's not on the list.
Intel HD Graphics is a graphics chip not a card, so no good.
I'll see if I can get a mac helper to check the mac specs.
The game requires a graphics chip with a minimum of 128mb. Many integrated graphics chips have no dedicated video memory or 64 mb dedicated video memory. This seems to be a problem for TS3 and more demanding packs like PETS and Seasons. Mac users seem to have some problems that don't seem to get resolved (I'm not a mac user). To play all TS3 packs you need a mid level gaming computer or better.
