Hi Jamie,

I've been playing on a 24" 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac with the
NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT graphics for several months now. It's great
most of the time, but I do get the occasional hang. That might be
solved by the recent Apple firmware update for iMacs like mine (don't
know - haven't tried it yet).

I didn't have any luck when I tried to use hardware acceleration when
setting up the game the first time. I've been using software rendering
which is still plenty fast (170+ frame rates) - yours should be even
faster.

Best of luck,

Bruce
