    When I played WoW, it was on a 2x800 G4 with a Radeon 8500 so I had everything on low. Can anyone with a modern vid card and computer tell me if the bump-mapping/pixel-shading/vector-shading mojo was implemented or not on the Mac?



    This is the first time I hear such a claim...surely there would have been an outcry from everyone if the Mac version didn't have equivalent features as the PC version.




    The thread I started about this I stated how my friend's pc with AMD Athlon 1700+, 512mb of SDRAM ram, ATI 9200SE video card vs. my Powerbook with 1.67ghz PPC processor, 1gb ram, ATI 9700 card with 128mb VRAM looked like crap compared to my friend.



    With my texture options turned all the way up and his at about medium settings everything looked much more detailed than mind. The ground textures were much more detailed, the characters everything.
