Got a Radeon 4890 in my 2x quad xeon Mac though so I can do some "modern" gaming when I feel like booting into Win7
It was the machine I finished Crysis on.
I have nothing against Macs. They do have some cool software, but it isn't really applicable to me. However, some of the the Mac fanatics/home-evangelists/xtreme zealots do bother me and give the platform a bad rap IMO. 😁
Actually I found Macs much more interesting when they had their own unique hardware going. Having something to play with besides Wintel is nice. But clearly IBM and Motorola didn't care to play ball against Intel and AMD anymore. I imagine that Apple's sales volume isn't a good enough reason to try to compete in the realm of cheap consumer CPUs.
The bootcamp thing was a very smart way to take advantage of their machines being PCs now and allowing full access to the MS world.
