[QUOTE="Kash, post: 919281, member: 23444"] Your hardware is certainly capable of 64-bit. However, I'm not sure how well developed the 64-bit Boot Camp drivers are for the iMac. I know that 64-bit support for the Macbooks and the Mac Pro is well established. Since the iMac uses laptop components, I don't see why you couldn't get a 64-bit version of Windows to work. As for the graphics, the GT130 doesn't exactly scream performance, but it's supposed to be nVidia's best mobile card. You'll get decent gaming performance out of it, perhaps Medium to High settings with no AA or AF. However, I'm not sure what you mean by which nVidia PC card model it can be compared to. You stated that it's an nVidia GT130. If you want to compare it to previous nVidia models I'd put it at somewhere a little slower than an 8800GS or about the equivalent of a 9600GT. [/QUOTE]
