Quote:That fake Windows that was emulated? Nowhere near fast enough. However, the new setup is not that. Since new Macs use x86 architecture, they can flat out RUN Windows at full speed. One just needs to install it, and Apple provided a special bootloader software so that when one starts the computer they can select which OS to use.
Macs still usually have worse graphics cards and stuff than PC, and I'm pretty sure you definitely pay more for Macs than equally powered PCs (comparing CPU speeds?), so just having Windows won't solve all your problems... Also, aren't there some issues with Boot Camp (just remembered the name of the thing)?
Quote:There's really only one thing I can complain about with Gears of War and that is that the game is VERY VERY SHORT. I think my total run time on easy mode 7-8 hours. And it really felt like that was a lot more to the story that what was in the game, as in a lot of things that could have been elaborated on but weren't in favor of leaving that for the inevitable sequel.
In recent years FPSes are usually short, for some reason...
