I prefer to have my music loaded onto my iPhone, but only the playlists I listen to on a regular basis. The reason is two-fold: 1) I enjoy having higher bitrate MP3's or lossless whenever possible, and 2) I don't enjoy having to buffer each song when you listen to it.

No problem, I posted because I looked everywhere trying to find out if it would run well on mine and couldn't find much of anything. Enjoy the game!

Repost from above as someone else has similar specs, figure it might give you some reference...

I doubt it will run well unless you drop the resolution down. I too have an iMac, although it's the next gen (i3 3.2, 8gb ram, 5670 HD 512mb graphics), and I can run it on full res 2560 and stay between 18-30fps with high texture, no shadows, high physics, and low clutter, no AA. I dropped it down to 1920 and got…

Good god that exhaust note!

Awesome wallpaper!

You must have a fairly limited range of dishes to cook with just coconut oil. I can't see making anything with a tomato-base sauce with that.

I was looking up different wood butters, this is interesting. Thanks for the tip!

I think, before we go around killing peeper, we better make DAMN sure, of our evidence.

Hmm, I'll try turning the options down then. Going from 2560 down to 1920 just looked bad.

Which GPU do you have? I have a 27" late 2010 with the 3.2 i3 and 5670, and running full 2560 I have to turn down everything to keep it above 20. Dropping the res down to 1920 gets me up to 30.

That is far from raw. Gollum, on the other hand, prefers his raw and wriggling...

But Craig's mom said it was ok...

Nice

A lot of good points are being made in the comments. I'll comment on the styling.

This will be the one time this year I actually watch a bit of a NASCAR race just so I can witness this!

Agreed. I can attest to this with streaming music to my receiver in my car. Sounds terrible and thin, however as soon as I plug in my device to the direct connect cable it sounds 10x better.

+1, I have my Airport Express with an optical cable going to my receiver. Done deal, sounds awesome and I can always install additional Airport Expresses at $100 each and send audio to any powered speaker setup around the house.

I ran the beta on my late '10 iMac 27 (3.2 i3, 8GB RAM, 512mb HD5670) and it ran smooth with almost everything on high except for shadows I believe. You have the newer i5 and if your ram is at least 4gb you should be fine.

I'm wondering about this as well.
