I might buying one really soon and i would love the input!!!
So what if I buy a maxed out Mac Pro, it wont be good for games, then apple should just place on board graphic card in they're motherboards if its really that bad lol
so would you recommend bootcamp or parallels when it comes to games on a mac? and I have vista ultimate sp1 64bit. or is that a bit to much for games?
I find i prefer gaming on a mac pro. first yes an imac and even macbook pro are adequate but they are harder to upgrade so easily. need another HD, no problemthing about a mac pro is that it will do whatever you ask it to...everytime. reliability is a big selling point for me

How about a 3rd gen mac pro with a 280 gtx?

how much is Boot Camp?
as someone else said Boot Camp is free, but you will need a full copy of windows to install on your boot camp partition. You will not be able to use a software restore disk that came with a PC.
The Mac Pro is not a gaming machine. Why would you even think that it is? It's a workstation for professionals (hence the name) to do processor and graphically intensive work.
As has been said before, get an awesome gaming PC for half the price and a Mac Mini or iMac with the money you save.
Depending on the graphics card requirements, it should be the same as on any PC.
If you're buying a Mac Pro for a gaming machine, you should reconsider. Games aren't really meant for workstation class processors, ECC memory slows down game performance, and the graphics card selection is non-existant. For a third of the price, you could get a Windows machine specced for gaming that will outperform a Mac Pro at playing games.
A Mac Pro is more for work tasks, like audio, video, or engineering type stuff. I suggest you do some research before spending that kind of money.
