And it runs REALLY REALLY well, the framerate doesn't drop (except when a grenade goes off near me and it gets really blurry but it doesn't really matter cos it's all screwed up anyway and that's the ONLY time it happens)

I've also run the Far Cry demo and it runs awesome at 1680x1050 and Rome Total War runs really well, unfortunately Call of Duty 2 for some reason runs really crap (odd because my PC ran it faster than BF2)

WOW cool thanks for showing this all the neg stuff about BF2 on mac we stop now ....well I hope so :D to bad about CoD 2:(

Nice screenshots. Personally i think dual booting macs will be all the rage for anyone with a passion for gaming. Thats really cool that they can boot windows now, I cant wait to pick up a Macbook in say... a year or two once my current notebook dies.

[clbsiss]

did you just put the cd in a mac? or did you buy it?
:cool:

[Eden]

Have you played on a ranked server yet? I know PB has a lot of problems when trying to run BF2 on Linux, i.e. it just doesnt let you play on ranked servers.

[Jacky]

I really love that Screen, the design is SOOOO nice

[Robske007a]

i wonder WHY he plays in singleplayer... lag, crash boooom, another mac destroyed by superiour WINDOWS applications/games.

Macs run windows native now, there are not compatibility problems, he is running windows XP.

[Eden]

Ah right, I wasnt sure if he was running BF2 on OSX or just BF2 in windows on a MAC computer.

thats crazy! haha

It looks like you have a one button mouse, how did that turn out when you played?

Thats a two button "mighty mouse" its crap IMO compared to a logitech or MS mouse, but it does have two buttons.

im also loving the ps2 and the tv on the same desk. would be cool if you cant spawn just bust out the controller and bust out a few laps of gran turismo

[Blades]

Have fun living in a box now that you have sold your house, car and life insurance to buy that mac.

he's runnign it on windows....


Mac is now windows compatible.

[Pilo-II]

HAve fun with the single-buttoned mouse! :D

[GeoffRowley]

The IMAC running windows XP well? Its videocard is alright I suppose. Doesn't have much RAM though. IS it easy upgrading macs? Don't know much about them.

I bet you could hook up a USB mouse for windows because it is windows :P

[Blades]

Even if it has the Mac OS, you can STILL attach ANY USB mouse and it will work.

[imported_NeoRicen]

This mouse has 4 buttons but it's really not good for gaming cos u can't press the left middle or right buttons at the same time as they are all on one 'button' it just senses which side you have pressure on which means in games like Far Cry you can't aim and shoot.

And upgrading is impossible except for regular RAM which can be upgraded and apparently the CPU can be removed and replaced because it's not soldered on there but I don't think Apple has any plans to offer upgrades cos the Case is next to impossible to open but I don't really care because I go this Mac before knowing Windows was even possible.

[AtomicRadio]

Wow! Im thinking about switching to a mac! :D

[imported_NeoRicen]

Keep in mind that this Mac is damn expensive and you could get a PC with performence like that or better for cheaper this is just an advantage for people who already own a Mac, were already looking at getting one or would still use the Mac for 'mac things' as buying a Mac to do PC stuff is a bad idea mainly due to a lack of upgradability although the 20" screen is worth alot on it's own.
