[QUOTE="S.SubZero, post: 643556, member: 51635"] Sarcastic answer: "It's true. Macs cannot run ANY game at all whatsoever. The chess game OS X comes with? A lie. It's not usable at all because no Mac can play it." More real answer: "games" covers a wide spectrum. What games did you have in mind? Games specific to Macs? Boot Camp some Windows games? New games? Old games? For a reference, here's the bare bones speed numbers for your 2600 Pro vs. the graphics chipset in a Macbook Pro: [url]http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=522&card2=534[/url] And, here's the difference between your 2600 Pro, and a "mid-range" desktop graphics card found in gaming PCs: [url]http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=522&card2=544[/url] (the 8800GT is also an option in Mac Pros) [/QUOTE]
