How are the summer 2k iMacs performing on unreal tournament? im interested in the difference between the 350 and the 500. I need a new computer and wonder if the 350 would do because I dont have the cash for a computer but want an iMac that can do Unreal. Thanks.

A 350Mhz iMac with an ATI Rage Pro (I believe that's what the latest ones come with) should average around 25 - 30 FPS with the detail scaled down a bit. Not stellar but more than acceptable.

You will also need to consider RAM. UT is happiest with 120+ MB RAM just for itself. Virtual Memory can make up for some of this, but for best performance, I would suggest a minimum of 160MB physical RAM.
