Apple's Recomendation on Gaming

[Stridder44]

This is Apple's recomendation on gaming hardware...check it here. (http://www.apple.com/games/hardware/)

I'll sum it up. Our machines are great for gaming. The more expensive ones are for the really hardcore gamers. ;-)

I could'nt of said it better myself.:p :D

Mac's rule. Even better: beefed up macs. :D

I wonder why apple puts iPod into the suggested extra's... I've never known how an ipod would help you plying games :) mabye storing them, but it doesn't seem like it would be too helpful.

[voice-]

I was thinking the same thing, Mr. K, what the hell does iPods have to do with gaming? Maybe they are thinking of Breakout gamers...

[MrNivit1]

Well why not use the current iPod as a simple gaming system? Granted it wouldn't be a gameboy, but hey, with creativly constructed games, it wouldn't be that bad... couldn't hurt...

Nobody noticed that Apple suggest you put a 2Gb of PC-133 SDRAMs in a 333Mhz DDR RAM motherboard? Seems funny if you ask me :) Better mail them and tell them they made a big, really big, mistake :cool:

Wouldn't be a real problem except of course that the SDs don't fit physically :D

Grtz,

i argue that if Apple had done so, it would be OUT OF BUSINESS!!! 8-) there were already TONS of Intel chips out there and there was no way Apple could have convinced everyone to switch over to a Motorola chip.

however, perhaps your statement would rind true if you added, "... and had written the Mac OS for Intel AND Motorola..."

:cool:

Doesn't seem to be up anymore. Its a nice idea, but we all know about the problems with porting osx to Intel or AMD machines.

Some iPod games would be cool though. Tetris!!!!!

[mr. k]

i wanna see games on the iPod, you could really do some cool things with the touch weel... and it would add ten to the cool factor of the iPod.

I wish there was Freelancer on OS X. I wouldn't want to have to boot it up through Virtual PC or something.

[Stridder44]

yeah, i know what you mean about having games on the iPod. I wish you could have more than just that one game...like install or run other games on the iPod. I wonder if the next iPod will have that feature...
