I'm not much of a gamer, but I like a system I can use for other things including video processing.
I've got an 8 core 3.2 ghz Mac Pro with 20gb of RAM and 5 TB of HD storage, 2 - 24" monitors, 2 superdrives and a Geforce 8800GT card.
It is VERY fast and clean and very stable, no viruses ever and it never crashes. (I sound like a commercial, sorry!)
My geekbench scores are 12,800 plus.
THis way I need only one machine. I have never and probably will never purchase a console or dedicated gaming system, I can't justify it to myself and would consider it a waste of money, only because I would not use it enough or buy the games.
ALthough the games are more limited, most of the ones I want I get easily get. Plus I've got an Apple store about 1/4 mile from my house.
I'm not a 3D shooter person and I don't like violent games, I love Blizzard games like Warcraft and Starcraft (awesome), also more of the classic arcade style games and their knockoffs like Pengo, Centipede, Digdug, etc. and a couple others like the Pirates series from Sid Meyers.
I started with a teletype in 1978 and moved up to an Apple IIe in 1983 with thousands of games for that. Since then, I've found most modern games are knock-offs of old ones or they are very poorly done and have limited appeal to me.
I will admit They often do have very slick graphics though.
Thus the Mac.
You may not agree, but I'm happy with it.
Xbox 360 obviously, because I'm an Xbox game developer, lol.
Lol. Why do you need 20Gb of Ram??
Your computer sounds amazing:bowdown:
