Hi guys, im thinking of buying an iMac. Im going to use it for design & gaming sometimes. Ive heard that u cant play counter-strike source on it? Is there a solution for it? I thought of the one, 21,5" with 1TB HDD.

You would have to run emulation. It used to be a pain in the ass but virtualization has come a long way.

iMac definitely wins for design, and Windows 7 runs perfectly on it for whenever you want to game.

I'm pretty sure they ship then with nVidia cards if you want, I suggest you Google the card for reviews.etc

Tryed, also asked in stores etc.
I think I'll buy a gaming desktop on Tigerdirect instead, just to be sure for both design & gaming.

Thanks for the reply's people.

Please close this.
