    Hello everyone,
    I would like to know is there any significant difference between those 2 versions of UNREAL TOURNAMENT 2004 on my Macbook?
    UT2004 Windows = $9.99
    UT2004 Mac = $24.99
    See the price difference?
    I plan on installing Windows 7 as my secondary-OS in BootCamp and play UT2004 Windows Edition.
    But my question is, will there be any significant difference in Frames Per Second between Mac version on MAC OS X 10.5 VS Windows version on Windows 7 beta (BootCamp)?

    I believe the OSX version runs alot slower as I've heard. Windows will run it faster, and its cheaper. plus you'll be able to use it on future PCs

    From what I've learned, the general rule of thumb is to always get the Windows version, if at all possible.

    Thanks a lot everyone. Then I've made no mistake ordering UT2004(win) off NewEgg! $9.99, Free Shipping and NO Taxes is steal! =p

    Bleh, it's at times like this I regret living in Orange County. Newegg has the cheapest prices, yes, but I have to pay tax.... it forces me to go to TigerDirect for pricey items.
