This is interesting: the new Intel Macs run WoW faster under Windows than they do in OS X.
They main theories why are:
- DirectX is just plain faster than OpenGL
- The Intel build of WoW hasn't been optimised just yet.
Still, interesting...

Was it with the same settings? Apparently some of the games get confused by the dual-core processor and hardware settings, either reporting "under minimum spec" or defaulting to rock-bottom settings. They can be manually adjusted upwards though and run well. People have had Guild Wars and EQ2 running on Apple hardware, so I think the days of my long-in-the-tooth PC are drawing to a close.
