Guilty of the bf2 thing, it's more the game engine/development (mostly environments/realism)that interests me, can't do that well without getting to know games so it means I have to sacrifice some free time to playing a bit 
I have used this mac thing for a long time now, once in a while I try something else but eventually crawl back to panther theme. My secret to running the eye candy with no slowdown, including HT I have 4 available processors, throw the candy on cpu 3 and forget about it.
Mac looks yummy stock!
