I'm betting you give up Linux in less than a month. :kekeke:


I've run Redhat and Debian before for about a year on a old computer I didn't use much.
I'm not really interested in using it for a main OS, I'm very happy with OSX. I'm just interested to mess with it. Probably just get Netbeans on there do my Homework and feel l33t.

its not that custom a cpu, everyone knows its ppc based.

so what if the modifications would be necessary? you have source, luke. unlike VC++ lol

2) who said anything about its os?
3) gcc? sonned
4) who said they developed using linux as a platform? gcc runs on windows too

Hows that microsoft fridge treating you, I hear it plays WMV and stuff with the microwave but they both need 1GB RAM for windows xp embedded.

:multi_co:

Well following your logic if Nintendo is dependant on commercial software then they're "fucking retarded".

And since it's a custom CPU it has custom operations. You can't just magically say "it's PPC" and use a flag and have it work. It's a custom CPU with special ops, thus needing some modification to their compiler. Check the codewarrior site, they have a custom compiler just for the GC.

Wow, the Mac runs Half Life 2 AMAZINGLY on my Mobility Radeon.

It runs at 1600 at 16:10 at about 30-60 fps(estimation) with everthing on high!

It even does HDR!

I dont even have the 256 Radeon. If you get that it'll be even better.

Totally solid. This iMac is fantastic, worth every penny.

Nope, native resolution, 1400x900. Refections on water are set to simple, and of course Antialiasing and anisotropic filtering are off though. Everything else high

Windows, OSX, Linux, who gives a shit? I use the computer to come to this site and to look at porn. I bet I can do those two things with any of them.

I suppose the good news is I can now run hentai games without resorting to the purchase of an Intel or AMD Windows machine. More money in my pocket :buttrock:

Or maybe you could just install OSX on your PC, like I did. Even more money in your pocket.

Yes, but most hentai games have pretty low system requirements, so he could get away with a single core mac mini. Of course, one could also build a more powerful, OSX-capable PC with that money.
