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.

Fool... the model that devianttubs speaks of has a dedicated ATI 2600 Pro with 256MB of DDR3. Not good for gaming? I think not.

EDIT: I would also like to say that the 2600 Pro is capable of obtaining 3DMark scores over 3000, not exactly great, but still respectable.

What good is it if no one makes any games for it.

Also I said 'I think', I never they 100% didn't.

Either way, don't get personal with me mate.

As a mac and a PC user I have not found away to play games for PCs on a Mac. Although there are ways of getting around this. The only reason i am a Mac user is to use programs for music editing which are not able to be used in windows. There are many other programs out there that can "only" be used on a mac.

I had much the same problem as you did when I was not able to play games on my Mac OSX operating system so i decided to dual boot it with Windows XP. This is now possible (whether not this is legal) by downloading a version of Mac OSX for PC. This will allow you to run the Mac OS on the PC hardware although finding "drivers" for this hardware is another story.

I am not entirely sure whether there is a version of windows that can run on Macs but microsoft have created a version of office that does.

The point of this reply is to say that the way trends are going the Mac and the PC will be able to run the same games and same software as each other soon or a later

VMware ! boot an OS within another.. Everything runs as nice as its host computer and os. I have a intel quad core q6600 running kubuntu and the thing is stable as heck, I have vmware to run windows games and stuff (if they don't already work on wine) and mac os x programs run natively with the darwin kernal that is now part of my linux kernal. (darwin kernal is the mac kernal for those who do not know)
So if you want a mac program install vmware on your windows and get the mac os x and instal that to the client. same for other way around they have vmware for mac to run windows
