First, unless it is MAC ONLY software you'd be far better off with a PC. Macs hold no power advantage, only a software one.

As for the mouse, you can actually use any one you want (I reccomend the G5) and it'll be fine.

Some friends and I play on Linux, but past that I dunno. Last I heard it won't come out for Mac.

You're shooting yourself in the foot using that thing. I use most of the same software, I know.

Most people want it to be Mac-compatible, or they tell you up front. If they don't, assume you can use a PC. In fact, ask, because a high-end PC is cheaper and faster by far than what a Mac can give you.

Or put a PC in a G5 case and fool them. It's been done.

Running Guild Wars on an new Intel Mac should be no problem now. Search online for the hack.

Still no accelerated drivers for the x1600 that is inside the MacBook Pro and iMac. The "hack" isn't something that a normal user would/should try to attempt, as much as they've simplified the process.
