[QUOTE="JUSCUZIAM, post: 579879, member: 46728"] It's about a month now. Are you saying Macs are only good for applications ? that would make no sense, why build such a great machine for applications only. If I were ceo of Mac I would be addressing the game industry first, I know so many that would buy a Mac tomorrow if were game ready, and I dont mean Tommy the jumping clown Math I am talking about Fear, Quake, Crysis ect. I swear there must be a reason other than they have no interest, no way everyone wants to make money and Apple is no exception. ALso for the Game industry is hudge, Grapics cards are designed to run games, everyone knows this. Go into any computer store and youll find isles and isles of games, and two isles of Applications. I have read on this forum people asking what the Mac pro can do for games. The new 45 n is geared towards games, typ in gaming industry in google and see for your self here is a quote"The video-game market for personal computers continues to grow into a key market in the computer industry. Users in the United States spent $1.4 billion on video games for PCs in 2005, according to research released by analysts NPD Group this week. Of that, $344 million came from subscriptions to online games and gaming Web sites, according to NPD's estimate. Meanwhile, Verizon Games, purveyor of several online gaming options, has partnered with Super Computer International Inc. to create a new model for gaming servers. I am not here to debate that is easy, I like the reliability of Macs, I can list thousands, the Mac pro 8 core is beyond and PC power wise, I will invest as I am sure thousands will if it can run windows with dx10 and Pcie 16bt and later crossfire or SLI, if you are a hard core gamer you know what the Mac pro means in power for games and game servers. Why should a machine be held back buy a simple Video card? is it because MS has the 90% share of games on the PC with DX10? and Apple has been bared from the scene and only allowed to have so much technology?
