Not that I know jack but it seems to me that these games are mostly designed around Wintel hardware and then ported to the Mac OS platform/hardware as well as Linux on x86.
If the games were designed from the ground up around the G4 architecture and OS X I assume the performance would be very, very much improved. I also assume is not economical for this Microsoft world we live in.
On that note. For all those who beet their drums in opposition to the Mac I can only ask for a truce.
Apple is doing things right for a change in my humble opinion.
Jobs is really bending over backwards to improve things. I seriously am a believer in the company and am putting my faith in this under dog.
Microsoft scares me. Even though they pacify me with Office 2001, Outlook, and IE, and I have friends and family who work for them, they need to be Knocked down a bit. Fair competition needs to be restored.
Their only competition is the Penguin who works for free. It's ridicules and sad that only Martyrdom can compete with the beast and eat away at it's foundation.
I am sick with what happened to Netscape and every other co. that has not bent over. I am now scared for the next company on Redmond's radar, Real Networks......And I am always worried about Apple the company that although piss' me of time to time I put my hopes in and believe in.
I'm saddened that Apple has to kiss ass to Microsoft just to have Office which if pulled would possibly destroy the company.
Even though they makes hundreds of millions from Apple customers if the Government wasn't breathing down their back they would have already drove the knife all the Way.
If they could get their hands on Linux they would knife the baby without a second thought. Thank god Linux is an invisible front.
Apple is leaving the past behind and putting it's life in Open Source Darwin/ BSD, Open GL, PDF Aqua 2D and QuickTime.
Its a corporate company but Apples after being whipped is walking the walk.
If Linux and BSD can work together or at least contently coexist then all will thrive and robustly grow and maybe Microsoft's bull sh__ can be muzzled and it will play nice..
And Steve Balmer will bring me flowers and choclate while riding a pink elephants back.
Woe. I'll shut up now.

IFmac X ran a dual boot x86 with windows and the consumer could just use the widows boot for the software not written for X then......if I'm a software company why not just write for windows since all mac users can use that port.
