Macs aren't good for anything except IM. Buy a PC.

(Upgrading video and sound in a Macintosh is actually easier than it is in most PCs. So is upgrading the hard drive, adding memory, adding a SCSI card, adding/switching optical drives, etc.)

(Many games come out at the same time for Mac and PC. For example, Quake 3 was essentially a simultaneous release, and WarCraft III actually has both the Mac and Windows version on the same CD. All the good games eventually come out for Mac, and there are some games that come out sooner - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series, for example.)

Onyx, buy a PC. Buying a Mac for just gaming is like buying a Porsche for driving around the block. It's a waste. If you're really not going to do anything else on it, buy a PC. If you're going to be open minded and maybe check it out and eventually make a switch (you will, if you spend any time at all with a Macintosh other than just playing games, which are going to be virtually identical on either platform), then buy a Mac. But demand is so high for Macs right now, people often times have to wait to get one. So if you're not really going to use it, then let someone else get it who will.
