[QUOTE="JUSCUZIAM, post: 579085, member: 46728"] I am in the stage of deciding between a Mac Pro or a PC, the PC would have essentially the same graphics’ card, my primary goal is games, secondary goal is office, digital photograph and fun for kids. So I have listed my questions that I cant seem to get any answers for so I hope you can help me. Yes I know some say Mac is not for games, why not ? you cant get a PC with that power so why can’t she run games ? NVIDIA 8800 GT Is the DX10 capable in windows ? Booting into windows do you lose any of the capabilities of the card? will it still be 512? can I buy two NVIDIA 8800gt and use both as one video car in windows? Is the Mac able to support two ATI Radeon HD in crossfire in windows ? The four PCI-E buses are they x16t or is x16 shared between the four? I tried contacting Nvidia and no response, called apple and they don’t know said to call NVIDIA. regards the Pcie I was told shared and not shared so I am confused. [/QUOTE]
