Won't work with Aces High?  Right?  Or, at least unadvisable??

Installing Windows using Boot Camp should work. You can manually set screen resolution in AH to a Mac-proportional size.

If you are going to run Windows games on a new Intel based Mac, don't get the Mac Mini or a Macbook, as they have the slower Intel graphics chips which rely more on the CPU.  Mac Pro, Mac Book Pro, or even iMac will be the better options, in that order, as they have Nvidia or ATI based graphics chips--although not the latest and greatest.  I'd consider a Mac Pro myself, as they are very stout systems, but I'd be better served buying a Core 2 Duo CPU upgrade to my current PC for a third to half the price.  I'd be interested in seeing how Aces High performs on an iMac running Windows XP via boot Camp... should be very playable.

Thanks guys.  I've never owned an Apple, and was just brainstorming.  If I up grade, the most reasonable thing to do is to drop $750 - $1,500 with Newegg and revamp the old box.

there's a post in here (or the technical support forum) about someone who got the new apple thing where you can install windows too... they ran AH totally kick-arse and had better FR's than a normal system.

Yeah, but... I'd like to see AH running on one. Know what I mean? ;)

If it runs well, I'll certainly get a new imac (rumor of a 23" one coming out) and not build another PC just for AH.
