Mac system requirements often seem higher, however, since some users are familiar with Apple's benchmarks that show Macs far outperforming faster Pentium-based PCs in various operations for graphics and so on. There's certainly merit to that argument, but alas, it doesn't usually translate to games.

Mac still offer a superior gaming experienc for certain types of games than consoles do. I prefer strategy games, role playing games and simulations on the Mac, for example. And at least until I upgrade to an HDTV system, my Mac still offers way better graphics than most of my console systems do.

Hey Peter, is there anyway to get more from your graphics card, maybe a shareware of freeware program that I don't know about?
