Gaming Impressions on iMac 3.06ghz (COD4)

[iMac22]

Hello All,
Just recieved my new iMac 3.06ghz with nVidia 8800 last week and it's been great.
I tried playing COD4 on XP/Bootcamp and man does it rock.
By default the optimum settings are pretty much maxed out except for the resolution which it tries to automatically set at around 1064 I believe?

I pump it up to 1920x1200 and it looks great...but when the action gets tough the frames aren't as smooth. I can still play it though.

Anyone else get this new machine and have any gaming impressions?

Got mine 2 days ago and I absolutely love it! I tried Guitar Hero III on OS X and NFS ProStreet on Boot Camp/XP and they look truly stunning! I maxed almost all of the settings, except for the resolution that I kept at 1280x800. They still look great and are really smooth. Later, I might see how it looks at 1920x1200, but for now I'm happy with what I have.

Simply amazing machine!!

My friend has it and it works great. He has it on the highest settings with no problems.
