Like nailing jello to a tree.

Mac's are for drawing shiz.  You must be a golfer...that's not even a sport.  It falls clearly into the "hobby" category and so does computing so we have a pattern.

I run ah easily on a couple of minis that live on my home LAN. Both run windows 7 via boot camp. I run trackir as well.

Don't bother trying to run ah via VMware. I experimented with it but the behavior was slow and flakey. It's best to run it native in windows. Mavericks is what I'm running on both aces high nodes. It handles windows 7 easily.

I always use Samsung monitors as well, good sized ones. i've got sammies all over the house, in sizes from 20 to a couple of 55s. Anecdotally, I was always first to spot cons with my old squad - one of my windows machine using squaddies joined once and didn't know how I could see the stuff I could see at range. I attribute it to the combination of monitor and graphics cards but am not steeped in the technical side of those computers. The macs are closed arch anyway.

Killn  go hold your breath for 6 months again and miss this season.

 :furious

So you have to have windows 7 on it to work?

Edit:

Pittsburgh sucks, no point running a Mac it looks like.

Skuzzy you can lock this thread :)

You don't have to run windows 7. I used to run ah on windows Xp sp2 but, since its now obsolete, I updated. I get all my crappy windows software via ford so office and the OS always cost like 9.95 for either side; windows or Mac. That's about what windows software is worth, I might add.

I assume your windows machines can run Mac OS , right? Haaaaw, haaaaw... I kill myself with this stuff.

Mac's and PC's run on the same hardware these days. Only the OS and some peripheral stuff are different. Install Windows on a separate partition or use multiboot and get a USB PC keyboard, mouse and joystick and you shouldn't have any issues.

The current crop of Mac's do not have the best video cards in them and they are not upgradeable.  All the lappy Mac's use an Intel video chip.  The best desktop Mac has an NVidia 775M with 2GB of video RAM.  Not bad, but not great either.

I think you have to get into a Mac Pro model before you can upgrade them, but they typically come with a workstation video card, not a game video card.

I don't know about the vary latest models but my late 2013 Macbook pro has dual graphics. It uses the Intel Iris pro chip on regular desktop use and switches to Geforce 750M when running something graphics intensive.
