Im not sure what settings were used on this test, so  it might be as you said, however my point is that linux can play games and play them well.

I was under the impression that in GL got accelerated through DirectX in version 9.

I officially retract my claim. I was mistaken as to their 3D architecture!     :eek:  

As for what I said about Linux... no, for what I do (audio recording/editing with realtime effects) Linux can't do it. It's not because of the OS, but because of the rather poor, inconsistant implementation of sound drivers.

And lack of apps for high end recording and editing.

I'm sorry. I don't come and flame you out when you say something negative about Mac OS. Linux isn't cut out for media production (although I was just informed that video editing is quite good). It can't do it all... audio isn't that easy.

I'm sorry... it just isn't. does that make you sad?      :(

Listen, Im sorry, I become too emotional about this linux thing. To each his own. Anyway I have to agree with Viper here. Those Apple Benchmarks are fishy. I want to see Toms Hardware, or PC magazine, or someone unbiased do a true comparison. I see Apple gaming benchmarks and they always outperform a P4, but I look at the frames per second the P4 was doing, and it is 200 fps less than it usually does. If this isnt odd I dont know what is.

Apple has yet to convince me that their pc is the fastest as they claim. My question for you mac guys is, where are the Dual G5 computers? I havent seen them at the stores. Is Apple not releasing them? I would like a test of the retail version of this pc to be done. I mean the version that people like us will buy, not the version that Apple Optimized to get high scores on a benchmarks.

the dual g5s were delayed a bit so that they sent them out to the schools first

I have seen and used the dual 2GHz G5. one was on display at the local Apple retailer. the owner special ordered it and it arrived days ago.

it's pretty fast. I can't vouch for any firm numbers, but she's a quick one.

Preacher, I'm not gonna hold it against ya. I've come over as really overzealous many times, and I can really be a dick. I apologize for that little remark in my last post. It was outta line. I still don't see Linux as being good for media production. I hear good things about VideoGIMP, but I haven't tried it. It sounds really nice, but I wanna get hands on with it! Linux still doesn't have the capabilities or the software for audio production, though.
