Mac Pro is a over-powered machine, it using 2 server processors. In other words it is considered as a server computer.

iMac is a ripOff "desktop". Basically it is not consider as a desktop machine like normal generic pc. It using laptop board and everything (processor, gc, ram.. etc.) comes from laptop.

Ok.. that's the little overview of the iMac and Mac Pro. Now the question is what type of gaming? Hardcore like Oblivion or FPS games? Or just normal games like maybe nfsCarbon and etc? If hardcore, of cos that iMac cannot handle. You need that overpowered server-based machine (Mac Pro). If you really into gaming, i suggest you go buy a pc la.. Cos' the current Mac Pro graphic card is very no-no.. for hardcore gamer.

what you mean better in graphics? I don't think so, seriously. You can ask those "Pro" designers, 2D or 3D field. Both platforms (Windows and Mac OS) using same software. WHat i mean is both using Photoshop, Maya, etc..

The thing is iMac is using laptop board, which is considered low-end machine in the pc world. In gaming, graphic card is the most important thing. But for laptop gc, they sure lower down the clock/core speed due to the heat problem, the gc will become low/mid range. In other words, it is not really good for hardcore/FPS games, but normal games sure can handle without problem.

Ya. it is possible install mac osx in a generic pc. btw, i using that now But it is totally illegal.

Check this site out before you posting anything. If iMac is using desktop components, i'm sure even more ppl will move to apple machine. It is because apple only make 2 categories, one is SUPERB-HIGH end machine, and other 1 is SUPERB-LOW end machine. There ain't mid-range. Just look at apple laptop. And there ain't any desktop component for apple machine except Mac Pro, again server based.

I'm not saying that iMac is superb-low.. I trying to say taht iMac is not a replacement for desktop machine.

"Low-end" machine which mainly refer to the graphic chips/card component. Graphic card is very important, not only for gaming but for multimedia apps as well. iMac? You can just compare to any generic laptop.. Don't fool by the "Extreme Processor" cos' the rest of the components are mobile-based. I said again. Desktop/workstation components are not same as mobile/laptop based. Mobility always does lower down the speed of all the components in order to minimum the power usage. In conclusion, iMac is just like macbook pro(High-end mobile machine).

As for macbook, you don't think it is "low-end" machine? Powered by intel GMA950. Even the older mobile machine (G4 or whatever) uses a dedicated graphic card (Both ibook and powerbook). If you compare in 3d benchmark, i doubt macbook can overpower ibook.

And now? Where's the midrange machine? Desktop machine? Where? ... Please do the math..

PS: I'm end my *though* here.. If you've read international mac forum, load forumers will say Apple don't offer "mid-range" machine(desktop machine or a better macbook)
