| Ok so, I'v been a PC gamer forever and i'v always considered Macs to be kinda like 'The others!!' And cus of that, i never really ever used them. However, recenlty i decided to go out on a big of a spending spree for christams and i just happened to bring home one of the beautiful new 24inch iMacs (2.8Ghz Intel, 2G RAM, 500GB HDD Etc.) as a little present to myself! Anyway i'v been having great fun with it and all but i cant help look over at my pile of PC games that seem to be gathering dust and i wonder if there was anything i could do about it. So, the Bulk of my question is... Is there anyway, at all possible, to somehow get PC-ROM and PC-DVD games to run on an Intel based iMac??? Now i know this is a failry epic question and i have been doing a little research into things like EA's CIDER program which coverts pc games like this for Intel Macs but i just cant get it for love nor money! Alternativly, if the answer to my previose question is a straight NO, can downloaded ISO image files (ie Games) be mounted onto disks to run on Macs? I do it all the time on my PC, i just wondering if its possible for the Mac?? Ok, mission of a query i know, but - i really appreciate anyones help, insight or just genral knowlage on this subject. Cheers guys DT |

| Even if they run I doubt the Mac will have the power to play the games, I don't think they have dedicated graphics cards. Also discussion regarding downloading games is against the forum rules.

| There is no debate: Gamer: PC. Net surfing: Mac Anything else: Either. All of the above: PC.

| Macs are also very good for publishing, graphic design etc. and music production. They are machines for the office not gaming toys. ![]()

| I disagree, there is software for Macs that isn't available for the PC.

| Ok, here's one, music production software. Logic, arguably the best software for the job is used in just about every studio, college, school or whatever and is only available for Mac.

| For the record I'm not pro Mac, I wouldn't touch one with a barge pole. But they do have their uses.

| Again not pro-mac but in their defense Windows did lift a whole load of stuff and whack it onto Vista. And Mac OS isn't nearly as RAM intensive as Windows Vista. |
