| Re: osx unix base Quote:
Personally this is going to sound very negative, but I've just about lost all my patience w/ gaming on the mac. Ports STILL take too long. I don't care if it's better than it was 5 or 10 years ago. That was then, this is now. Things move at a faster pace now. I've just about had it with how much slower OpenGL is compared to DirectX, thus making every game on the mac that much more slower than the PC counterpart. Factor in the slower bus speeds, and things get even worse. Before I go off too much that being said as soon as I get a real job I'm getting a PC for all my comp gaming, keeping the mac for any internet/work related activities, and using my consoles for the rest of my gaming. I guess I want to do this because I'm just a very hardcore gamer.  |

| I suppose that's an okay way to go... at least you won't be ditching your Mac. I don't know if I'd ever buy a PC for gaming (I'd take a free one for sure); I don't mind putting money into a place like Nexus CybrCade because I can go there for a few hours, play the latest games (heh, 1942) for $2/hr, and not have to buy any games I will play for a while and then ditch.

| Minging?  The Xbox only has 64 MB of RAM, so if they could get it to run well on the Xbox, they should hopefully be able to get Halo to run without too heavy requirements on the Mac/PC. I agree, though, that you'll probably need a minimum of 64 MB VRAM.

| Why, because it was posted on a Mac board?

| No, because a moderator played with the results.
