Don't game on a mac. It's like gaming with a workstation graphics card. It doesn't work.

*signed* Its ridiculous how few quality games there are for macs. I strongly believe the only thing keeping Win/tel in business is their strong gaming library. You can do everything else on a mac or w/ linux at least as well, and in most cases better than on a windows/intel platform.

Thanks for signing the petition, as for you other people please dont waste your or my time by posting your pointless spam. And actually there are 15% mac users out there. Its pointless, a 2x.5 powerful mac (compared to a pc) cost 499, and a pc thats crap cost $399. Macs are better, America is just cheap and stingy, paying for the lower performing PC. But I am not in the mood for starting a war between platforms so continue please.

I know the best graphics card for a Mac is a 9800 pro (unless a new one has been released resently for the Mac) which sucks. I also know macs have a one button mouse. They are slower and more expensive than PCs for gaming.

Yes actually a better card has been recently released, but no I do not know the name off the top of my head. I am just a bit aggravated that you AoM lovers wont allow others to play the game? It take 20 seconds at most to fill out, and your e-mail will NOT be given out! What do you have to lose? You are helping to expand one of the best strategy games out there. If you owned only a mac and you were in my position wouldnt u want people to help you aswell? I know I would

Ya unfortunetely Macsoft didnt do an awsome job with the online play. Yes, I will admit that there are about 9-10x the amount pcs out there than macs, which definetely reduces the amount of players, however when I host a game, peeps join within minutes. The larger issue is teh matter of hosting, not playing online. To stay on topic please continue signing this petition.

The ATI 9800 pro is hardly a bad video card, more than good enough for AOM-TT. The new powerbooks come w/ a 9700 Mobile, which is very good for a notebook computer, my new HP notebook only has a Nvidia Go440. Its VERY VERY hard to find a pc notebook w/ a decent video card.

Ok shiva, thanks anyway. And dude macs arent old or low-tech. When is the last time you have left your house and looked at the macs out there? Check this site, because macs are way ahead of PC's, PC's are just cheaper, which is why the majority of America buys them, "price over performance"

Not really macs have up to 2.5 ghz and up to 8 gigs memory, and the graphics are fine if not great. I am using a 9600 radeon, and AoM and halo are displayed as on Xbox. Yea and I dont know anyone who uses (or can afford) a 30 inch or larger display system. If you want larger you can hook it up to any larger display. They just arent for sale on teh apple site.

What is the cheapest PC, that can run AoM: TT decently, and wont lag online due to computer specs? I would prefer a dell btw.
