No the 7600GT at 1920x1200 is pretty much useless with a game like UT3 And if Epic releases OS X binaries on the disc then you're set.

Yeah Comcast can lick my nuts. Their cable internet, though fast down speeds, is unreliable and PowerBoost is probably the worst thing ever conceived. Let's give people 30 seconds of normal upload speed then cut them at the knees back to shit-ass …

The POWER6 isn't a general use processor like the G5 was. You'd never see it in an Apple desktop anyway. It is very good at one thing, but not at lots of different code. 4.7GHz would seem slow.
