December 18, 201015 yr The only problem with MACs is they don't support the latest and greatest graphics card. They're a little bit behind on that aspect, so if staying ahead of the curve is for you a MAC makes that virtually impossible.
January 6, 201511 yr "The only problem with MACs is they don't support the latest and greatest graphics card." Not true ... you can get an iMac with a AMD Radeon R9 M295X with 4GB GDDR5 ...seems pretty recent to me. Dave

However, having the same video card that you refer to, I am finding the GPU to be limiting in XP. I think it's the "M" prefix (mobile GPU chip) that's the issue. However, it may be possible to get a better driver for it in Windows, I have yet to try this. Thanks, Bruce. ASEL, Instrument. KBJC, Colorado.
