I got a g5 dual 1.8ghz Power Mac that has 512 mb ram, and has a 64 mb nvidia graphics card...hopefully VPC7 will have hardware acceleration, so the card helps out a bit. Anyway, Im just wondering if it will be possible to get fair resulsts from it....

I almost hate to say it, but I think we have to give up running the Half-Life game on our Macs.

I loved that game too and then. I just ended up building a cheap WIntel box to play all my games on.

I'm glad we have StarCraft at least (yeah I know there are others, but that game still rocks!).

No it doesn't its wicked. I used to play for ours in my first year of uni. Would play it now with my housemate but for the fact that macs can't. Annoyingly he's got battelfield vietnam, which is also good, and we're stuck with 1942. Oh well, at least there's one now. Not that I'd use my PB to game properly (that's what my gamecube is for!)

Oh and can some tell me how to quote properly? THanks!
