So the game will not run on the previous eMac with Radeon 7500? That's bad news for my niece.

Well the Radeon9200 is slower than the Radeon 8500 on the PC, so I don't know if it will even run on the current eMacs. Although the Radeon 7500 is faster than the Geforce 2, on the PC. I guess we will have to wait for a review to come out, to be sure.
