[QUOTE="Flombie, post: 780545, member: 80429"] I have recently decided to upgrade my iMac to Leopard in order to use Bootcamp with Windows XP. I'm not very familiar with the whole dual boot thing, and I was wondering whether I will be able to run Source engine games (more specifically Left 4 Dead and Counter Strike: Source) on my iMac. Searching the web produced a few somewhat unhelpful comments about running aforementioned games. I'm not looking for super performance, just a bearable framerate and graphics, enough to make the games playable.
