so i was thinking if i get new computer, i wana be able to play sims 2... at the same time, i wana try out mac... never used before, but seems very cool! my dad friend said that he didnt want to change from pc to mac coz must learn new stuff, but his son convinced him, and now he LOVES it!
so, IF can only then i want la... if cannot then i dono... mite get mac, mite not... but i really wana experience mac...
well, if you are a "gamer" la.. You have to fork extra buck in mac machines(such as macbook pro) and also you have to install winxp/vista too.
mac games are extremely few. They are "countable"
I'm not sure about sims2, i know EA games nowadays like NFS:Carbon mac version. it is using cider (kinda emulation). Performances sux big time if you compare in windows via the same mac machine. And integrated graphic card don't support at all, meaning macbook and mac mini can't play.
iMac? Btw, do you know that iMac is using mobile (laptop) component?
All the best dude.
If you don't play game much, you sure "enjoy" mac. If you're gamer, i think no point. After all, you still need to use windows.
Only few games can play in mac os btw.

From what I read on other Sims forums, Sims won't run so smoothly on a MacBook. The base game alone should be fine, but the performance would deteriorate with every expansion pack installed.
I used to play Sims on a laptop that had the GMA950. Several graphic options were unavailable, and after extended game play, the textures would go blurry despite my settings set to the highest. I experienced a fair bit of lag too on big lots, or lots that had a lot of Sims on them. (If it helps, I had 1.5GB of RAM on that laptop.)
well i hav not test. I think i should test it. Technically, X3100 performs better than GMA950. Benchmark (windows) shows 2x better compare to 950.
