[QUOTE="smurfy, post: 447448, member: 30159"] Hmm, if you're a gamer I dunno if a Mac is best for you... You'll have to put Windows on it. You could use Parallels, which does 3D if it is OpenGL or DirectX 8 or below. Or Boot Camp, which is free and runs everything a PC will do, but then you have to reboot to use Windows :( To make it cheaper without losing any performance, get 1GB of RAM, then get the other gig from Crucial. Apple seriously overprice RAM, you can get 2GB from Crucial for less than 1GB from Apple. You can find the exact RAM you will want from Crucial [URL="http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Mac+Pro+%284%2Dcore%29"]here.[/URL] Don't worry about not being able to upgrade it, Apple make it very easy to find what you're looking for inside their computers. You open pull a handle up and it lets the case off, then there are four silver trays with the RAM in. [/QUOTE]
