Would you mind if I quote a paragraph or two from your post? I’m finishing up a paper for school. Thanks a lot!

I have always owned a PC. I am currently considering buying a Mac. I still want to use this Mac for playing games like Day of Defeat, Battlefield, Diablo, Warcraft, etc. - online. Does anyone have any advice for a “Mac-Virgin” on what I should look for in a Mac-System that will support online gaming?

Macpro 1,1 2,66 with 8800GT for Crysis

Macmini normally for everything and multimedia.. with my 37″ 1080tv…
and then some easy gane… even try with call of duty 5 in bootcamp
9300 is not so bad… but is not enough for Fall out 2 (mac version) is a pity!;

I use an older iMac with a 1.83GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, and an ATI Radeon X1600 (128MB of VRAM).

Well, all this makes me feel sad somehow. Why we can have a cpu that we could change the video card? please. I use a Mac Pro after using for some time an iMac and still have to buy a really video card to play fair.

I have a unibody Macbook 2.0 GHz, I play CoD 4 & Spore on the mac side of things and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (Shadow of Chornobyl and Clear Sky), Cossacks, UT3, TF2 & Counter Strike on Windows.
Other than my MB I have a PSP (I play GTA on it) and an iPhone (Modern Combat, Real Racing, Gangstar, NFS)

This is a great thread! I feel like a luddite to still be using my G5 PowerMac Dualcore 2.3 with the 23″ Cinema Display as my primary computer, but I’m bound and determined to get 4 full years of solid use out of it. (That day is coming very soon!)It still runs Neverwinter Nights and Aquaria real well, but in the last few months I find myself more and more playing Civilization Revolution, first on the XBox 360 with the Vizio 42″ plasma and now on my iPhone. Reading this thread I am surprised how many of us are gaming in Boot Camp. I’m not sure how to feel about the trend away from Mac OS gaming, but “It is what it is!”

Unibody MacBook Pro: 2.66 GHz Intel C2D w/4 GB RAM.

I mostly play World of Warcraft and Wikipedia in OS X; mayhap Boot Camp into Vista come next year when Star Trek: Online comes out.

On the other hand, I might give the “bottling” program this website uses in their “Does it Play on a Mac?” series: http://technochubby.com/category/does-it-play-on-a-mac/
