[QUOTE="wmprice1240, post: 914996, member: 99551"] All good points. Point 3 is really the killer IMO. I can understand why Apple restricts certain customization options in its platform (compatibility, performance, thermal control etc). However, what's frustrating is the lack of options for the MacPro when it comes to gaming in general. While the current options are better than what they were a year ago, I would like to see more options in graphics cards, and I would like to see them offered sooner rather than later. A good example is the ATI 5870 that was just released, it would be nice to have a Mac edition as an upgrade option. Similar for the NVIDIA 295. While these may only appeal to a smaller market on the Mac, it would be nice to at least have the choice especially now that Mac has gone all Intel. I could understand some of the restrictions/lack of products when it was all PPC. [/QUOTE]
