I remember someone mentioning it before, but now I can't find it: why does Mac suck at putting decent video cards in their machines? If the iMac had an 8800 GTX it'd be the perfect computer. Now? Quake 4 at 1024x768 (4x AA, 8x AF) runs around 33.7 fps. Which is really, really slow. I would want at least 80-90 fps to enjoy gaming. Before I figured there was an issue with the processors being non-Intel (they were PowerPC until 2 years ago), but now? The iMac I have my eye on has an Intel 2.8 Core 2 Extreme processor, which is used in all sorts of decent machines with good video cards.

Is it just poor decision making or is there still a compatibility issue?
