Tiger Woods 2003 was excellent, by the way -- best golf game you can get for the Mac, in my opinion.

I'm playing it on the PC now (2005 version). I'll buy the Mac version when it's shipped. Short summary: 2005 is much tougher than 2003, at least initially. Legends mode is fun, and the new courses are cool. The manual absolutely stinks, though -- I hope Aspyr writes a nice Mac-specific one. One example:

When I first started playing, I had no grid on the greens, despite having it enabled in the prefs. I couldn't figure out what was going on; the manual said nothing about it at all, and the forums were worthless. After some experimenting, I fiigured out that because I had set my skill at "expert," the grid wasn't available. This is not indicated anywhere in the manual -- it doesn't explain what changes with each skill setting at all! Highly frustrating.

Once in the game, though, it's a blast. Can't wait for the Mac version!

I have the same machine as well and Tiger Woods plays great on it. Some of the visual things you are seeing are part of the game code and not the speed of your computer. It runs as well on my PB as my G5. Those little visual quirks show up in both.
