I know NOWT about gaming

Thanks to Valve any game you see on Steam is also available for PC and Mac.

Although steam has brought a lot of Opengl based games to OSX this does not include the massive library of Direct X games.

Only a small fraction of the steam library can be played on OSX. I hear that plans for a Linux steam client were scrapped but its the same story.

Direct X = 95% of all games = Windows only.

Well I guess you could always use WINE on linux to play Direct X games.

Thanks Gorman was just about to say that.
Go on steam, and look at the tiny amount of games you can get on a MAC.

Tis why wine was made, im not a fan of the hardware overhead though, i usually go linux in a VM.
