Normally, I'd just stay with what Mac I have, since it's fine for all those things. Except gaming. I put a Radeon 9800 Pro in the Mac, and upgraded the processor to a 1.33 GHz G4, and it still sucks for gaming. The PC has an Athlon XP 2400+ (runs at 2.0 GHz), half the RAM of the Mac (512 MB), and a Radeon 9600 Pro video card... and it completely kills the G4 at anything involving 3D acceleration.

On a more serious note, I posed a question once, in another thread, about the degree to which this gaming performance issue is largely a matter of poor gaming software ports to the Mac OS vs. an inherent issue of current Apple hardware's ability to handle gaming. The question was not really followed up by anyone. Any thoughts?
