Ok, before people get nasty with me, I will state I am PC all the way. However I am finding myself a bit curious with this whole MAC thing. I purchased a IMAC with ATI Radeon x1600 video and the MAC OS is amazing and what 10.5 is suppose to do will just increase that feeling. The problem with the MAC OS is the lack of game support and does anyone think that this will start to change now that MAC is using Intel?

No, My question is making games to run with MAC OS. Why buy a mac to run windows?

The MAC OS X is a kickass OS, now that they are intel coding games should be a little easier and maybe there will be more new releases.

Well think about the support Linux is getting in the gaming world, not that MAC is doing Intel there could be a good chance of more support.

The only thing I can think MAC will need to do is getting some way to support directx seeing games are looking into utilizing DX10 in Vista.

the mac does not use directX it can and does only use opengl, its built into OSX. so dont expect any ports of direct x games, if you want to get work done get a mac. if you want to game get a pc. Peace.
