Abode codes their apps pretty much the same on both the Windows and OS X sides of things. The only differences will most likely be keyboard short cuts and that is it.

Don't worry about getting a good video card because gaming cards only really boost performance in gaming period.

Whether you get a mac or a PC is up to your preferences really. They will probably perform very similar to each other, and each has their advantages over the other.

You can play any game you want, and overall part-wise it's purty good. Q6600 and 8800GT pair together well.

You look for the big white/gray port on the back of a graphics card. The 8800gt is compatible.
