Who still buys those things? Are you talking about an IPOD?

Hah.. I have the powerbook 17 and the 30 inch cinema display, I'd LOVE to have a mac version but oh well, it won't happen.

My PC is entirely for gaming only.

It depends on whether they get proper ATI drivers working on the Macbook running XP since it currently only runs with a standard VGA driver. I suspect it's only a matter of time before they do, and when it does it should run like a dream. I've got a Powerbook 15" and recently got my office to purchase a Sony Vaio SZ1-XP for some work I'm doing. It's Core Duo as well with Geforce 7400 Go and GC2 works amazingly. If they get the ATI drivers running under XP on the Macbook Pro it'll be even better (and at higher resolution).

I'm waiting until the next revision of the Macbook Pros before buying myself one. Hoepfully they'll have XP running with proper graphics drivers by then. I love OS X, but I love GC2, Civ4 and BF2 as well

I'm considering getting a MacBook Pro as well. Question: When the new version of Virtual PC comes out, will you be able to run programs like GalCiv2 under it without having to dual boot XP, which sounds vaguely scary to me.

I’m not a Macer myself though but I’m sure you can figure something out .
