I currently have a PIII 450 with a Prophet Video Card, 198 meg ram and 12 Gig HDD.

I have been to the Apple Web site and it Looks like the Mac OS is really superior.

Like many windows users i have my doubts about changing over to MAC OS. It seems i can but, wow, what about all the software and games and such.

I bought a PC in 1991 to play games! i still like to play some of the older stuff Civ, Thief and older still. Not to mention newer stuff.

Will this software operate properly in a MAC enviroment? Do i need emulators or whatever?

Reason is...My wife will be getting Win XP Pro for her ME PC.
I dont want to pay for XP twice. 98SE (i Have) is ok to a point but support is running out.

Any suggestions? Points that i should think about? Please remember i am just starting out on this research to switch..

Thanks Jim
