It has been far too long, but I have finally succombed once again to the siren song of the Subsim radio Room. After a year of playing GWX nightly, I decided that the arrival of SH4 would give me a chance to step back and cure my various U-boat related ailments (Periscope elbow, Hydro-ear...etc).
I would sometimes pause the mouse over my bookmark while scrolling through my favorites, but each time I was able to avoid pressing the left-mouse button.
I continued to stockpile U-boat related literature but slowly the keyboard commands that had been hardwired into my brain began to fade, and the various mods which i had stockpiled and added over many months began to confuse me whenever i would encounter them in windows Explorer.

Sometime next week i will take delivery of a 24" iMac with 2.8ghz intel core 2 extreme, 4gigs of DDR2 SDRAM, and a 1TB hardrive. I tremble in anticipation.

If those of you reading this post inform me that i will be able to play SH3 GWX on my Mac using the bootcamp program, I fear that i will once again be plunged into a bottomless pit of hardcore gaming from which i may never emerge.
Am I doomed to count down my remaining days plotting targets on my beautiful new computer in my dark basement, or will I only be able to don my Kaleun's cap on my old but trusty garage relegated rig?

Yeah, the iMac is gonna run SHIII in Bootcamp just fine. The video card in it isn't hawt or anything, but it'll do it. Track down the SHIII change-resolution dll, you'll want that for... playing.. on... a.. gorgeous... flatscreen... you... bastard... The CPU and RAM you're fielding should make up for the video card nicely.

You're doomed

get GWX 2

Double doomed

Don't know a lot about the system, but I admire your choice of game http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/thumbsup.gif
