[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1242329"] 1. When you buy a game from Steam, you can play it on either platform if its available for both platforms. Your PC Steam license key will work fine and includes the right to play it on the Mac. 2. Borderlands is in fact available for the Mac, as is Knights of the Old Republic. I do not know if they are available on Steam, but they are definitely available as buyable games. 3. Playing PC games on the Mac (when there is no available Mac version) is best done by using a Boot Camp partition and booting into it when you want to play games. That way, the system is uncompromised by having to run anything other than what it takes to play the game itself. If you're trying to play PC games on the Mac using a virtualiser (ie Parallels, VMWare, Virtualbox etc), you're getting a sub-optimal experience. [/QUOTE]
