 If the standard for machine requirements is the character creator, then I can report that the creator runs fine on an iMac with bootcamp. iMac is 2.8 dual core with radeon hd2600 and 4 gigs of ram.

Of course, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed on gameplay and whatnot, but one step at a time.

There is a Mac version coming out.

The above message had been dead, embalmed, mourned, buried, and forgotten.  What led to its being disinterred?  It didn't die naturally after all?  CSI investigators wanted more forensics from it? 

I do note that compared to some of the crap that Apple sticks into its current systems, an HD 2600 *IS* an "n600" Mainline Gaming card, which lately, they no longer seem to include at anything like a reasonable cost.

Before the Mac vs. PC flamewar starts, let me just say I'm currently on my 3rd playthrough on a Mac, using Bootcamp. It's not a wonder, since a Mac with Bootcamp is just another Windows PC, there's really no reason why DA should NOT run on a Mac just fine.

I wish one could expect the same of the Mac port, if it's really coming. I don't buy any Mac games anymore, based on my past experience with crappy ports and nonexistant support. Just look over at NWN2. At least Bioware games always ran good enough and got all patches, so there's at least a little hope for Dragon Age. Although I expect just another quick Cider port.

My only Apple-specific criticism is the exorbitant pricing. All PC system builders who build large quantities do the same thing about cheap, very low quality video (when that's most important for games) as their standard product. But a Windows PC owner can swap in his own upgrade without (usually) voiding any warranty, for a reasonable upgrade cost.

One should just keep in mind that nobody should buy a Mac for gaming. Macs are good for general use and some professional tasks and most people who get a Mac don't intend to have them as a gaming machine. But if you have one anyway, it doesn't mean you can't also play games on them, some even perform quite good. I'm actually surprised how many new games still run on my old Macbook Pro at decent graphics, and a Mac Pro even gives you some upgrade options. If you're not swimming in money, there are ways to get some PC cards to work in these too (considered that, but my 8800GT still does the work fine).
Still, I bought the Mac for my job, if at some point it's getting too old to run the games I want to play, I'll build myself another cheap and nice gaming PC again, the Mac can still do the rest.

Great news for Mac owners. Unfortunately it's using Cider rather than being a "real" port, so it'll probably still run better under Windows via Boot Camp, though.

I am wondering is there any chance that they will make the non-digital version for the mac? Since I am not living in Northern America and internet connection at where I am living isn't really reliable.
