Mac version should be released with CB AFAIK. Don\'t ask an exact date. It\'ll be \"soon\"

I\'ve let things slip in the last week or so  but things are still Proceeding According To Plan.  Keep in mind that for good performance, you\'ll need pretty spiffy hardware (I have less than spiffy hardware, but I\'m used to less that spiffy performance!)

Course you can :)  If you couldn\'t, you\'d be gone, or dead or something :D

And that would be bad.

Will the Mac version be out in time to be part of the testing phase at all?

That has yet to be decided.  My availability permitting, I believe it is intended at least on a limited scope.

Sounds good... there\'s a possibilty.

Oh, and I\'m not sure if I\'ve thanked you before, but I think now\'d be a good time to as well: Thanks for the hard work! All us loyal Mac fans owe you big time. ;)

im just wondering this word \"soon\" isn\'t going to be like how Blizzard uses it hrmm example.   Blizzard... \"soon we will have version 1.10 up. 6 months later \"we are still working on 1.10 and come back \"soon\" anyways i just hope it come out hrmm SOOOOOON!! heh well i hope they are WORKing on it. but keep up the good work

Can you share what these \"high specs\" are projected as, to the best of your current knowledge? (If the best of your knowledge us just \"better than what you have right now\", can you share your specs, just as a rough point of reference?)

Just curious.

I am running a 700Mhz G4 eMac, with a Geforce2MX (32MB) and 640 MB of system RAM.  Performance may, in some cases, be very slow (single digit fps) but usually is reasonable (10-40fps) for most areas.  IMO it is important to have a good chunk of RAM first and foremost, and after that a decent graphics card is helpful.

This is all based on system 10.2.8, I believe newer graphics drivers in 10.3.5 may yeild better performance.

Pardon my ignorance of Macs in general (love using them but can\'t afford one, hence I use Linux)

Does you need a Mac-specific version of the GeFarce cards or can you use any AGP Nvidia card?

My obvious suggestion would be to just upgrade the video card as the 700Mhz PPC is already a very powerful processor. Is this possible or do you need a Mac Nvidia card that cost a premium like other Mac-specific bits?
