Hey everyone! I am curious about the frame rates all you Mac owners get when gaming on your computers. If you would please reply and post your computer's specs and the frame rates you get on let's say your favorite 2 games.
I thought this would be a good idea as I am sure there are often people curious about frame rates for specific systems they are thinking of buying. I for one am in the market for an iMac and like many others am seeking that warm fuzzy feeling of knowing that the system I want is going to perform at a certain level. So if you wouldn't mind taking a moment, let all of us Mac newbies that are concerned about gaming performance know that we will be happy taking a bite of the Apple.

Frame Rates on favorite games?? I think I still get 30 on TA!

I've only played WoW on my macbook pro so far. It's silky smooth most of the time with all my settings maxed.

Any idea how to check frame rates? I'd be happy to post them, but right now I would just be guessing.

Basically figure out how to bring up the console in your game and enter the frame rate command specific to that game. Do a Google search of '<game name> commands' to find this information.
Example:
Half Life 2: press the '~' key for the console then type 'cl_showfps 1' without the quotes.

I have a MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz core 2 duo with 2 GB RAM.
On WoW running natively on Mac OS X, you can show frame rates using ctrl-r.
Subjectively speaking, it's smooth with all settings on high. Frame rates are around ~25 fps in outdoor areas. I heard in Windows, it's a lot higher (I think this is due to OpenGL being slower than DirectX).
Running bootcamp, I was getting ~67 fps on the Half-Life 2 Lost Coast video stress test.
