Greetings everybody,



Does anyone with experience with this game and/or a little knowledge of current video cards know if the new 24" iMac will be able to decently play AOE3? I play it on my friend's Dell right now, which has a Radeon X800. I can play with all the graphics turned up to maximum and there's only a slight, occasional lag. On my MacBook I can't even play with all the graphics turned all the way down without unbearable lag. I just don't know how the Radeon HD 2600 Pro compares to the X800... one would think it would be better since it's newer but with all the negative reviews of the 2600 in these threads I'm concerned...



Thanks for the advice!

    Plays great on my 20" 2.0 GHZ CD iMac with an X1600. I don't really remember, but I think my settings are maxed out. So I assume it will run great.

    It runs okay on my PowerMac G5 1.8 SP which obviously has a way less capable video card than the new iMac.
