    Well, here is the story. I bought the old generation iMac (I think it was the early 2008? I'm not sure). Either way it has a graphics card, but I just want to know if it is fully updated. When I go to the system profiling, under graphics cards, it says ATI Radeon 2400 XT, but beside Chipset Model, it says Radeon 2400 HD. Either way I was wondering if there are drivers for this card? I am dying to be able to run Call of Duty 4 multiplayer smoothly at the lowest settings possible, lol. I borrowed the Mac edition of COD4 from my friend, and it ran terribly, hardly playable in single player, almost non-playable in multiplayer. I bought the Windows version, installed via Boot Camp in XP, and it ran better, but not by much. Still runs at about 20 fps in multiplayer, even though the built in console fps-displayer says it's running at about an average of 40-50. And I know it isn't because I still can't snipe properly :p (but seriously, it's definitely not running at 40-50 fps). So is it just fair to say this machine just can't run COD4 at any settings or am I missing something?
