Use bootcamp and they'll all work fine, although some may be a little laggy (should be OK at the lower res)
Natively...none of them?

BF2142 is also for Mac but isn't listed there. UT3 and COD4 will be out for Mac within a few months.

Never heard of anyone having that kind of a problem, and everyone i work with besides one colleague uses MBP's. i do know that Macs do not like cheap CD's when you burn them thou or will not be able to read them such as RiDatas. The best are Taiyo Yudens all the way, and thats a whole nother topic.

There are a few new(ish) native mac games.
Also you can use cider (basically modified darwine) to run some windows games. Altho the performance isn't anywhere near running the games in windows, it's even not as good as running it on wine/cedega on linux
.
A lot of the new 'mac' games released by EA are actually windows games packaged with cider (eg: C&C3, Guitar Hero3 etc) with the price bumped up by £10-15 for the privilege.
I guess it depends on how much you're into gaming really. If your main use for the system is gaming, I'd say there are more points against a mac in comparison to a windows machine (cost, speed, number of games, new games etc) altho you could always put windows on just for games (similar to what I have done for steam/cs:s)
I think the macbooks are excellent machines tho
and very stylish.
I guess it all depends on what you will be using it for.
As for antivirus, you could put on antivirus if you are sharing network files with windows pc's just to be sure.
For more info you could checkout the Mac OSX - Helpfull Links thread
Also the Mac Games page on the apple site

If some1 could post a link to a 24" iMac exploded hardware pic, I`d appreciate it.
Looked at the mouse, and can`t figure how to get a c2e processor and hsf in it. :crazy:
TIA
$2299 or so - which includes 24" monitor of course.

iiDazz - this is a warning. This thread is a whole year old and that was probably one of the most useless comments I've seen ina while.
