    And of course, it's actually just Intel-based Macs. So my two-year-old G5 is completely overlooked yet again. If I had an Intel Mac, I'd just put Windows on a partition. Kind of pointless, if you ask me. Not every Mac user buys a new computer every time Apple comes out with a new product line.

      I'm sure it doesn't say anything about the capability/compatibility of your PPC chip. In reality it's a trivial task to modify code written for one architecture to another. The reason they don't do it is because they hate you and your PPC.

      Not every Mac user buys a new computer every time Apple comes out with a new product line. Actually, that behavior was depreciated in iUser 10.3

    Come on, be fair - you can't really run Crysis on almost any x86 either.
