Mac's may become a good gaming pc

I read an article about how apple is going to be changing their processors from Motorola to Intel. This change in chip types will allow people to customize their Macs like never before. This change will also allow people to install GAMES not pong or some other game like that but actual FPS like half-life, wolfenstien, unreal tourney. Life with a Mac may just become bearable

Good news !

It's just a pity that the gaming industry focused on the PC architecture because clearly, the Motorola *were* better than the PCs a few years ago during the rise of the "familial computer". Apart for networking, their eternal weak point, the Macs have always been technologically ahead of their PC competitors. Then Intel started making Pentiums, Pentium IIs, Pentium IIIs, AMD, IBM and Cyrix did the same and the market got flooded with PCs and Motorola couldn't keep up. But I remember games on the Apple II like Dark Castle during the 80s, nobody could ever dream of that on PCs at that time. Digitized sound on 4 channels, high resolution graphics, no lag at all... that was impressive :)

Blades of Avernum was just released for the Mac. http://www.spidweb.com/avernum/blades/index.html

Really, really makes me wish that I had a Mac laying around. They always develop for Mac first, then make a Windows port a few months later.
