Macintosh

EVE would probably run as well as WINE allows it to run. The bottlenecks aren't in the hardware, although the client is single-threaded (so it'll only use one of those cores; render away!). I don't foresee any problems with the graphics card, but that's up to Cedega, not CCP, because as far as EVE is concerned it's running in a funny-looking Windows and making DirectX calls. Cedega are responsible for the WINE wrapper that makes the Mac client possible.

There are definitely glitches, but perhaps the most consistent and perfidious bug is a memory leak. After you've run the EVE client for a few hours (how many depends on how much RAM you have), you either have to use a utility to free the memory or quit and relaunch the client.

Whether the Mac EVE client goes to DX11 is up to Cedega. CCP is ready to pull the trigger, they're just waiting for the right time. I believe the next Mac OS has the version of OpenGL necessary to make DX11 translation doable--but don't trust my knowledge on that. The main issue would be Cedega (or the WINE developers) rolling out a DX11->OpenGL translation layer. I don't know whether or not that's been done, or when it will be done if it isn't.

(As an aside, I really wish I had a reason to buy a Mac Pro.)

Put it this way, I have an Macbook pro 13 inch with Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB and 4gb memory, and eve runs just fine on it. Especially with a fresh install of eve after a year of updates :)

Using the optimal button in the graphics settings, the performance is the same on this mac as it is on my roommates Alienware gaming desktop. I don't even use a mouse anymore on my mac, the trackpad does just fine.
