Rot.
Sorry, but we run many intel Macs and a lot of them have Windoze installations (legacy software, muppet users) and have never had any overheating issues. The fans work regardless of OS.
never saw the point in macs, unless for some graphics thing like photoshop, want pc games, get a pc, macs are great at whatever they do i guess
m8 was playing unreal tournament on windoze emulator on linux the other weekend, seemed to work ok for him, maybe you can have mac and xp at once

It's an age old debate, that's for sure and one that I think has no definitive answer. I would say that the majority of people I know who have switched wouldn't go back to using a PC, certainly in the work environment, but I do take your point, if you want a purely games machine then a PC is probably the best way forward.
I personally will never ever own another PC with a Microsoft Windoze OS on it.
i will definatley never go back its a much fiendlier interface, i have been using them for 3 years and have only ever have one program crash on me, and i used force quit...issue done. plus easthetically they are lovely, mine is now part of my room with everything included in the screen with incredible clarity. ok i may have had to pay over the odds for it but for design purposes such as 3d max and photoshop it is unparralelled
Poke around www.winehq.com I belive someone has started work on an x86 OS X port of it... depending on how mature it is you can run everything in the appdb to some degree.

It's as basic as you're going to get already. I take it you went and looked at the link?

It won't play direct x games on a mac.
Hmm... Seems to be rather old information, people pointing to DARwine (PPC) for getting the D3D/OGL stuff going, I suspect there is a version for x86 floating around with D3D though.
But moving on, vmware player + 3d extensions does work. I've a) seen the x86 mac videos of it doing it and b) used it myself on Linux.
there are a few games, but none of the major titles unfortunately (GTR etc). Its definitely worth having a look through the apple download site to see what new games are available - www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/
its also worth taking a look through the apple store for games.
