Lol only way you are going to run at 1920x1200 on an 8600 GT is with all the shaders, shadows and goodies off. You are looking at 1024x768 and medium to high settings to get 30 fps...
Well, the Macbook's are pretty sucky in that department (Intel Integrated Graphics), but the Macbook Pros have the GeForce 8600, the soon to be updated iMacs have 7600's (which are faster than the 8600's strangely), and the Mac Pro's have Radeon 1900xt's or Quadros, so I think the Mac is ok in the video card department. :)
Gears of War is built using the Unreal Tournament 3 engine, which Epic has running on OpenGL without any DirectX to OpenGL call mapping, so this won't be an issue. It will also be using OpenAL, so it will support all the sound goodies too.This is not being done by a porting house. Epic is doing this all in house.
