Edit: Well I ordered it and am having someone ship it to me, which means I'll see it in a month. Seems 1 disks works for PC and Mac so that's cool. My TiBook 500 doesn't have the vid memory but it'll work on my PC till I get my 17". If anyone tries it out, please post your system info and how well it runs.

Anyone running Shadowbane on a mac yet? Was released Mar 25. I'm burnt on EQ on PC and will not buy it for the mac. Want to try out Shadowbane ASAP but am working on getting it to Italy.

Pretty low system requirements so it should be available to a large mac audience (with the exception of needing to run 10.2).

If a group of mimes are miming a forest and one falls down, does he make a sound?

It runs surprisingly well on my aging Power Mac G4 dual-450 with an original Radeon. I run it at 1024x768/medium and tend to get 15-30 FPS, which is fine for a game where no twitch reactions are necessary. I think it's dual processor aware.

Obviously it runs better on my gaming pc (P4-3.06/R9700Pro), but the Mac version is without a doubt MUCH MUCH more optimized.
Be happy.

I'm running it on my ibook 700 at low settings, and it runs great... i could even up the settinga little.

It's a lot of fun.
