[QUOTE="mac_noobie, post: 90484"] lets get this straight... PC games that arn't made for mac (i.e. hl2) WON'T run on a mac.... Americas army will, I have a 12 inch powerbook 768 meg ram and I run Americas army on fairly low settings but not the lowest, and I get good gameplay... Otherwise I ran unreal tournament on high settings without lag... but if your getting a computer for games jessica... go with a PC, their laptops have the hardware and power to out gun any powerbook g4.... and the price to beat it... check out this if your looking for a gaming laptop ([url]http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/inspn_xps2?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs[/url]) note the 256mb geforce go6800 ultra... also thats PCI express at 16x... where the powerbooks are only AGP 4x... so your getting quadruple the bandwith... plus don't try to put down the centrino processor I ran all types of high performance games on a centrino... I sold my dell laptop with a centrino in it, and it was very, very fast. Good luck with your decision [/QUOTE]
