    Seriously dont buy a new computer with Vista. Unless your buying it from a person and not a retailer that would be the only exception.

    Just wanted to mention this. The reason why the full copy and paste of the system information/specs didnt show is because (Im guessing) that after Genuine Windows Vista, there is a trademark symbol. All text after certain symbols (on these forums) are disregarded.
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    Rofl it takes time to get used to though since the downloading part gets interestingly weird but its good b:cute

    Plus then you get Garageband b:chuckle

    Ok you didnt need all that advertising...
    But those specs are OK, for PWI. It wont play COD:Modern warfare 2 but its decent. Except for the fact that its vista.. Either get windows 7 or get XP.

    Mac arent really that brilliant for gaming =S, and theres no Perfect world for Mac either. So dont get it. Apparently theyre good for editing sound/photoshop but thats kinda stupid cause the only good editing software doesnt come free with the computer.

    If youre really serious just build your own computer. I saw someone who watercooled their computer. (Yeah it still works, they used pipes or something)

    Or..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtufuXLvOok
    This guy fully filled up his PC with oil to cool it.

    You have to install a Windows operating system (OS) on your mac, youtube has some great tutorials on how to do it.
