If you think 30fps is laggy ur on crack...the human eye can't even tell the difference past that...but all in all, 50 is nicer
this is nonsense. I can clearly see the difference between 30 and 60 FPS, so saying that human eye can't tell the difference is just wrong. 60 vs 120 FPS is a bit more tricky, but still possible. Am I not human?

30fps for some games is considered "unplayable" meaning that you won't really be able to enjoy it much. Games like World in Conflict play nice at 30fps and won't hinder gameplay much. But a game like CoD4? Especially when you're playing online, 30fps is way too low. Even for Counter Strike Source you'll be able to tell the difference between 50fps and 30fps. Like I said, it varies between games. For some games you will definitely be able to tell the difference because you'll notice stutters in the animations.
If there's a way you can do it (maybe mess around with the settings), play CoD4 at 30fps. Then change the settings so you can get above 60fps. You'll be able to see the difference. If you can't, then you must be on crack.
well, if it was easy enough to change settings to get from 30 to 60, why would anyone play @30fps? and...I'm used to playing with anywhere from 7-16fps on this old 1.25 emac, so 30 would be gravy for me =)
I am waiting for my delivery for the 20" Alum with the HD2600 Pro, so I'm kinda excited to see the difference...

Godspeed did some tests on his iMac:
Imac 3.06 8800 4gb ram
COD4 in Windows - 35-60 fps (depending on the level, grass hurts the fps)
COD4 OS X - 30-60 fps
The 30-60 thing... once you are used to 60 and you have to play with < 30
it always feels like something is not running well.
Has anyone tried to play CoD4 on a Lan using 2 iMacs?
I and my wife both have iMacs (24" & 20", 2.4GHz, 4GB, 500 GB disk).
My 24" plays on the internet easily and in single player I can run CoD4 at 1900x1200 and it flies. On the net at 1200x1024 I get fps's from 25-70 depending on the smoke, number of people, and the country the server originates.
However, I cannot get the 2 macs connected on my lan so that the wife and I can play against each other. I have tried just about everything. The server starts fine on my machine, but I cannot see my server from her machine. She can connect to all the internet servers with no problem.
Does anyone have a clue to what might be wrong? Is it a security setting that is not proper, or permission problems, or the iMac firewall?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Actually the weapons are static to your profile. As you level you will unlock other weapons, both opfor and SAS/Marines.
True. 30fps is an average usually, so there are times when it peaks at 45fps, and there are times when it dips into the high teens.
That's why most gamers shoot for 60fps average, so that when it dips into the 40's, it is still above that 30fps threshold that the eye can see.
Just a qucik question how do I see my frame rate in COD4? I have no idea how to do it so any help would be appreciated

All in your head. You think there is a difference therefore you see a difference. Do a blind testing and then tell the difference between them.
I see the difference. Doesn't take super-eyes to do that. The smoother movement in 60 FPS vs 30 FPS is clearly seen.
If you stare at a scene with zero or very little action, telling 30 and 60 apart is harder, yes.
But load up some FPS game and move the camera around - you will see the difference.
I play cod uo and I was playing on a zombie server today and 30/40 fps looked very very smooth. The only time it was bad was when it was 18-25 fps but I never get 60 fps anymore so I don't know what it's like.
Is anyone still playing online? Is it worth buying the game for my iMac now, or should I wait for something else?
there were 14000 active servers last night and most of them had people in so i would say yes
