iMac and Mac Games

Postby Flipsonic » Mon Nov 09, 2009 6:37 pm

Hi, I just recently purchased a 2.66 GHz 24" iMac and love it. I have installed several games and they work just fine. However, I've noticed that my internet connectivity has been disconnecting several times now and when restored, the connectivity is slow at first then gets back to normal. This never happened before I installed the games. I don't know if the games are the cause but that is the only change recently. A friend said when he installed many games on his mac (don't know how old), it became slow. Is this a known problem with Macs?

It is a known problem with any personal computer if you are trying to do anything graphically intensive (such as surf the Web) at the same time that you have an animated game running.

Make sure that you have quit all games before you go online.
