lol you don't understand what i mean.

Well let me explain,

Macs Doesn't have DX10,11 and play games without the GPU, unlike windows.
Plus Apple doesn't have a "Gaming Mac" unlike PCS do so from my testing, i prefer playing games on my gaming computer than my mac pro, which is more for Video editing and photo editing, dont get me wrong apple has improve gaming on a mac by 1% than Powerpc Macs,

Who if anyone asks a question : what computer will play sims3 very very very well, ill say a gaming pc with Windows vista 32,64 or windows 7 RC1, due to new gaming features (eg: DX11) That will make your games run very fast and smoother due to windows 7 is lighter not much .exe files are running and the new gaming components built in windows 7.

P.S Pcs are also great for gaming because you can replace everything in the insides if something happens. unlike Macs, so i think sims3 performance on a mac will be the stranded performance (Like sims2 on windows 2000)
Um, yes.

Anyhoo, just retested it. Phew, I can still run the thing. I seriously am expecting it to tell me I fail at life one day.

I'd rather not go there... I've had my share of Mac vs. PC arguments Wink
LOL - He hates Macs, so don't ever get in an argument with him. Wink
Which is why I said I'd rather not go there Wink
i love when i give you guys with true facts and questions.

dont get me wrong, i am a mac user Tongue
Lol, Jerimiah- I should've known someone was going to point that out. Yes, sadly, my Norton ran out and it's too expensive to download again so I actually have adware running and protecting me from bad viruses as of now until I get weboot from my boyfriend.
Never heard of Weboot before... {blink} I hope it's reputable Tongue
