Half-Life 2 on an intel iMac

OK. Now we're talking. I'd been surprised that the rumor boards I read didn't have anything to say about gaming performance on apple's intel hardware running Win XP. The above link set me straight. Looks like it rocks.

The rumor boards DO say that the 17" mac book pro might be out within the next month or so. Gotta wait for that.

The other thing I haven't heard about is Solaris 10 x86 running on a mac book pro or a mac mini. That's be sweet. I'd be game to replace my Sun E3000 with a mac mini running Solaris x86. The lack of redundant power supplies is perhaps an issue, but if the power supply fails, I can just run out to the apple store and get another, and it'd drop my power bill by quite a bit too.
