Hi,
Just a quick question before I (probably) 'take the plunge' -can the new iMacs (Radeon9600s) run WC3 at full settings in 4v4 online matches? How about Halo at medium settings (and with a good framerate,)?? I don't intend to game too much, but these are two games I enjoy playing on my PC (R9700 pro) and would like to play at full detail on Mac, yet could not on my ibook or former PM(R7500)...?? Also does anyone have a link to Doom3 benchmarks on the new imacs? [not that I need to play that too, lol :) ]

No idea on the Doom 3 FPS. Although here is a direct image from apples iMac page about Halo.

Halo will run fine, I can run it on my PB with medium settings and get a decent framerate.

Apple have dropped the price on their RAM so you could treat yourself.

And buy the 20" model - you know it makes sense!

war3 is old and not very demanding... it should run flawlessly. (it does on my powermac G5 1.8 SP with radeon 9600)
