    just question in mind,



    after switching to intel, all the games will be available for Mac platform?



    previously how difficult to create games for PC and Mac separately?



    glad if someone can assist on this question, i NO gamer

    No. You can't run a Windows game on a Mac. The OS is different.

    They both use different programming and graphics APIs. Mac is OpenGL, Windows is sometimes OpenGL but more often than not it's Windows only Direct-X.



    The difference, if there is any, will be that if a game developer has optimised a particular part of their code for Intel, it may be less work now to get performance out of a Mac.



    It now all comes down to how fast (as opposed to accurate) the Mac OSX OpenGL drivers are, and historically, they've not been very fast.



    Perhaps someone with an Intel Mac would be so kind as to run the Cinebench tests. That would give you a good idea as to the OpenGL driver speed.

    Is that better? And I thought it may be difficult.

    As far as the 78000GT goes, it's not a great board. It's middle class (just like us )

    I've been back to the site a couple of times, and several of the pics don't come up, other than the thumbnails.



    Has anyone else had that problem?
