Thread: SWG on Mac

Macs suck though.
I thought that until I tried editing video and doing animation on a PC- Pc is the sucks for Video/animation.. takes hours to render! I still use PC for every day things though - but as for power - I'd say my Mac G5 is better than my P4 2.4Ghz, P4 3.06Ghz HT and AMD 64 (San Diego) 3400+ atll together power wise.. It's just a shame Mac has no other use than my editing

Ya I should have said unless you are doing video editing. Macs just dont do it for me mostly since if you get mac you pretty much are stuck with all mac parts and you cant play around with parts as much as a PC. There new OS is based off of unix so I guess they are takin some steps in the right direction.
I want to know when I can play this game on linux though.
Wow this argument is like 10 years old. The difference between Mac and PC now is purely personal prefference, and price.
I am a multimedia designer, and I have been a video editor, PC's are just as capable, if you know what your doing when you build the computer. There is hours of rendering on Mac as well. You can get pci cards that will handle rendering in real time though, and you never have to render again. The only thing Mac has on PC is Final Cut Pro, which is nice, but so is Premier Pro, and I hear Avid is pretty nice too.
As far as animation goes, Discreet hasn't ported 3dsmax to mac, and that is my prefference for 3d, both have After Effects and it works and performs exactly the same on both mac and pc.

Did you try SWG and Cedega?
Atm I have some issues with the Ati Linux Binary driver and my two monitors so I can't get opengl to work completely but will be working on that if you can confirm it runs

PC's just don't have the support for DVHD yet! And Premiere on PC - Pfft (Premiere on anything - Pfft! Very outdated)! Where I work, we get around an hour of filming to 1 min edit time - PC's just can't handle it. I'm a PC user, they just don't work well with video.

Avid currently only has HD editing available only for PC's right now. A bad move considering that PC's just can't handle video well. pffft whatever, they will do the job http://www.avid.com/products/xpressprohd/
Premiere Pro 1.5 also handles HD, and from reviews I have read does it just as well as FCP. PC or MAC pick your poison.
They need to fix the submit button so that it works in Firefox.
