[QUOTE="higginsoft, post: 428502, member: 32709"] I've recently purchased a Mac Pro (last Feb), being a VERY long time DOS/Windows user. I may get flamed from the "I hate Windows" group, but if you are purchasing the Mac to be a game PC, check out what is available...not 1/10 of what's out for the PC, and good luck finding discounted prices. In those Mac vs. PC guy commercials, you'll notice they never talk about the mac used as a game computer. You might want to consider getting the upgraded video card when you purchase the Mac Pro and save yourself $100. There's only three cards available, but you'll need to get a second mortgage for the top of the line card, and its not really a gaming card. There are other pro/cons about switching from PC to Mac, but your initial concerns seemed to be centered on playing games, so that's what I addressed. [/QUOTE]
