Apple reveals and releases their new iMacs, complete with very feasible gaming prowess
It's not hard to believe that there are only a few Mac gamers visiting this site. Sure, there's using boot camp to run Vista/XP, but with the previous hardware, the only thing worth running was World of Warcraft. Which, consequently, was the only actual game we could name offhand that ran on a Mac anyways.
The most recent update to Apple's desktop lineup is a sturdy machine, however. There's no doubt that running on a 3.06GHz processor, 512MB of NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS graphics, 2GB of memory, and a 320GB 7200rpm disk for $2,199 isn't too shabby. Expensive, yes, but it's Apple, remember?
Why is this relevant, important, or whatever? There are a few reasons, which will probably play out more in the future. Companies like id are working to have games across all platforms (and they meant all platforms), other companies like EA are slowly coming around to Macs. And truth be told, this is PC Gameworld, not Windows Gameworld.
More importantly, however, is the update you'll see tomorrow that has something to do with the whole subject anyways. And, of course, there's the fact that the NVIDIA drivers aren't broken. But if you find something wrong, let us know for ridiculing purposes (we kid, we kid).
