Quoting limited to 5 levels deep Macs use some of the best graphics cards around

My graphics card that came standard on my MacBook was better than your desktop's standard card. So I lol'd.

It was a laptop model, deignated by the F, which drastically reduces performance.

2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 3MB on-chip shared L2 cache running 1:1 with processor speed

What F?

Geforce 9400F.

My bad on the screw up, but sorry, still wrong.

NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory

Quoting limited to 5 levels deep

Personally, I think Mac is more cluttered. Well, not really cluttered, but annoying and disorganized in certain aspects. For instance, instead of just clicking the X in an application to close, you have to go *Program file name*---> Quit program. It's annoying. ;__;

It's called Command+Q.

It's called just get a PC and not have to worry about any of that.

Read my last post. >_>

Anyway, hitting two keys is a lot faster than moving your mouse over the X and clicking.

He means completely closing the application. Some apps do close completely when you click the red X, like Photo Booth, but most remain open unless you select Quit from the application's menu or press Command+Q. I actually like it better this way. I can close a window and still have the application open, in case I need to open a new window without the application starting up again.

I read it. I still say just hitting X on any application to completely close it is much more convenient than having to use the keyboard or going through the applications menu.

9400M is a horrible card seeing how much you payed for the laptop.

One could buy a normal Windows laptop for the same price as your macbook and still have an Nvidia 260GTX, which runs Crysis on max.

M, whatever.
It's a laptop model, and integrated.

Ah, the beauty of windows. I'm saving my birthday money to upgrade to an GTX 250 and a 400W power supply, which I learned how to install myself through a 15 minute computer merit badge class and a youtube video.

If you wanted to upgrade, you'd throw your computer out and but a new one.

Sure is bad graphics card in here.

Huh, I thought that NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, ATI Radeon HD, and four NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 were pretty good graphics cards. If I'm wrong there, then I'm sorry for that part. I'm not too familiar with graphics cards.

Good thing I'm into heavy gaming.
I'm simply trying to prove a point.

They're decent enough to run most 2008 and later games on low-medium settings, if at all.

Ok, I'm going to exit *censored.1.3* mode for a minute here.


Yeah, sorry about that. Anyways, those cards really aren't too good when it comes to performance in today's games. Any game pre-2007 would run fine, but after that, you'd either have to sacrifice appearance or performance in games made after that time period.

Why would you post that? I know a quite few friends who are Mac Gamers and you do not have to have a PC just to play a game. It's called Bootcamp and you having a iMac and your boyfriend is saying you know a lot as a programmer I kind of expect you be familiar with bootcamp and running Windows on your iMac.

What the hell have I created?
Ah well, at least I know what to do next time.

I'm talking in general, not for you specifically.

It's funny that everyone's picking the little part about the graphics card in Andrew's huge post and completely ignoring the rest of it. What, are you all out of clever remarks?

Is it that wrong to want a computer that doesn't die when presented with the task of running games from the 90's? If the Mac was compatible with games from the 90's, that is. I forgot about that.

What does that have to do with his post?

I find it funny what the topic escalated to, when OG just asked what a windows commercial meant. XD

You're asking why everybody thinks graphic cards are such an important thing to fuss over.

I presented you our reason.

Yeah man. To be honest, I expected this to happen.

I didn't say anything at all about Macs not being able to run games or run Windows. I just don't know too much about graphics cards, personally. You can run Windows games just fine on a Mac with Windows, or within WINE for OS X.

I don't own an iMac, but a MacBook Pro, and I used Boot Camp in the past on my old MacBook for running Windows, as well as for installing Windows on Tye's MacBook Pro. I know the Mac OS X operating system pretty much inside and out. =p
