|  well ya see, my thought was i could buy this and use windows on it more than OSX, so that i could still play my games, but since its not an intel processor, ratehr an IMB power970 something, it is a good deal though  Pentium D 915|EVGA 7050 mATX|OCZ XTC 2GB|XFX 7900GS XT|Hyper Type-R 580W|Qmicra 2 Case Last edited by Mithosphere; October 9th, 2006 at 08:01. |

| windows will only run on x86 processors. This includes the new macs with intel procs. Since yours does not have an x86 processor, there is no possible way to run windows. That comp should still be pretty tough, and some games will run on both OSX and Windows.  |

| Functional Alcoholic  | I think you will be suprised about how nice OSX really is. Like drew said there are a lot of games that work on it. Most of them you only need a patch to make them work. Not that this helps with your game issue, but there are distros of Linux that also work on Macs.   Last edited by Hitman; October 9th, 2006 at 12:34. |

| so let me get the all straight, if i have a mac G5 and take it to a LAN party, the PC host of the game, whatever it may be, will be able to recognize the Mac, given that the Mac is running a different Operating System. AND that the other pcs will able able to transfer files over the network?> Pentium D 915|EVGA 7050 mATX|OCZ XTC 2GB|XFX 7900GS XT|Hyper Type-R 580W|Qmicra 2 Case |
