Hey guys.... I just wanted to say that I picked up my 20" iMac G5 yesterday from the Aple Store, and so far it has just been great. I know a lot of people were concerned about the graphics card that came with it. So far, I have been more than please with the way it performs. I haven't tried it on games such as UT, but I have played it on Elite Force II, which is a 1st person shooter based off of the Quake III Arena engine. Before this computer, I had a PowerBook running at 1 GHz with the same graphics card, and I must say the G5 architecture is far superior to that of the G4. I have also been playing Warcraft III, and I have never seen the game play so smoothly as it does on my G5...I stopped playing the game because it was so jerky on my G4. So, hope that helps out anyone that is reluctant to purchase the iMac G5 because of the graphics card.
P.S....I had the stock 256 MB Ram when I was playing Warcraft III and Elite Force II...but I received my extra 512 MB Ram today from Crucial, and I really didn't see much of a difference in game play...a little smoother, but nothing drastic.
