Welcome to the Apple Community.

You only need a computer with the Apple TV if you are going to use your iTunes Library with it. In which case the only requirement is iTunes 10.6 or better.

If you are talking about mirroring, your Mac can't do it.

Your computer won't do AirPlay, however there are other options. You can run a 3rd party application that will allow you to stream to your Apple TV. It will also work using a Windows PC.

I know there are, I just avoid inflicting pain on somebody I don't know and don't mention them.
