[QUOTE="slinki, post: 557318, member: 39694"] I love supreme commander, I play it all the time! I play it using my iMac (specs below my name) on windows through bootcamp. For the most part, it plays great, but you are right that the FPS lowers greatly at some points, such as 500 units all firing at the same time. Anyway, I have read that Supreme Commander will bring even the most powerful of computers to its knees, as its such a resource intense game. Its the only one (that I know of), that has actually been designed to use the two cores of your processor. Sprite, To answer your question, an iMac will play WoW absolutely great! I have tried all of these games on my iMac, and it performs flawlessly (apart from said problem with supreme commander), so have no fears! related reading.... I normally have a fan that sits behind my computer that faces up, directed to the little vent on the top-back of my iMac, that lets the heat out. By my figuring of how heat loss works, this should help your macs cooling, much the same way as blowing over a cup of hot tea really. With this, I have never noticed my iMac to go over 60 degrees C! So its def a great job. [/QUOTE]
