[QUOTE="Village Idiot, post: 363654, member: 29446"] I don't think it would matter at this point unless you're trying to run a mac specific 3d game on like a g3 or what have you. The computers would have to be so ****** since most games ported over to mac don't require as much as most of the newer hard core pc games. Like I can run Wow on my 17" dell inspiron jacked up to 1920 x 1200 resolution with all graphics maxed and still have 60 fps. If I played it on a similarly speced macbook pro, it would probably be able to run the same, only being limited by native resolution size. Were PC's accel at gaming is where they have games made specifically for windows and have extremely high hardware requirements. I don't see Apple being very competitive in the gaming market unless they let you start modding their systems more freely, like adding an 8850gtx and 800watt power supply to their desktops. They do have the SLI setup where you can put 4 cards in the new macbook pro, but a lot of games have problems with the SLI setup over a single video card. No, I don't own a mac, but I'll be purchasing one in the next month or so. I'm keeping my PC's for gaming and using other programs, as BC just came out with Vista support and I'm not entirely sure I want to be in the early adopter's club this time around. Plus I'm not sure how DX10 is going to affect mac gaming. Does OSX offer any DX support? [/QUOTE]
