Anyway, top of the morning to ya! Obviously its March 17th so Happy St Patricks day everybody. Unfortunatley some Mac owners won't be so happy today.
Arstechnica are reporting that the latest Mac is struggling to run Doom 3 , the PowerMac G5 2.5GHz dual CPU, loaded with 2.5GB of RAM, and the Mac version of the ATI Radeon X800 XT is no slouch and to be honest should be able to run Doom 3 in all its glory no problem at all.

The test system used was a powerhouse: PowerMac G5 2.5GHz dual CPU, loaded with 2.5GB of RAM, and the Mac version of the ATI Radeon X800 XT (which itself has 256MB of RAM). Even at High-Quality 640x480 resolution with no anti-aliasing, the best the system could do was 47.1 FPS. For comparison, with a NVIDIA-power 6800 GT with 256MB of RAM, a 3.4 GHz Pentium 4 will turning circa 150 FPS, while the beasts such as the Athlon 64 4000+ will hit more than 200 FPS. Of course, people with such systems won't game at that low resolution, instead cranking it up as high as it can go and still not seem choppy.
