OS 8? Crawl back under your rock, troll. Nobody uses that anymore except for a few diehards.
OS X gives you a 64MB swap file. And you can blow it onto a separate partition.
Back on topic,
The whole objective of Windows (in homes, at least) right now is pretty much a gaming console and stereo. I wouldn't be too surprised if Microsoft released Windows: Gaming Edition with all the extra "features" stripped out of it.

Linux runs games better than anything i've used too date. GO LINUX. PC's Video Cards are much better as the graphics in a MAC. Still I hate Direct 3d. GOOO OpenGL, (Quake 1 with th GlQuake binary's look as good as the newest games with Direct 3D)
Maybe make a OpenGL liabary for DOS.
As dos isnt REAL MULTITASKING. It is extremely
FAST. The Quake 1 engine (dos) is open source)
and maybe you could mix its 3d with another open
source game... (Unreal) and code graphics with more than 256 colors. People say quake 1 has a shit engine. But its the textures that suck. But they where good in there day. So running 3d Games on quake I engine would be fast.
Mind you i have MS-DOS 6.00 installed on this machine. There is a great webbrowser for dos.
VERY FUCKING FAST!

You've gotta be kidding me.. I mean I like linux.. But I mean come on gl-quake? All the games now are based on directX technology. I would like to be able to play all those games on linux but they cant. Plain and simple. And I did get quake3 working on linux but it was far from complete... Slow... choppy... And thats one of the few games that even works at all. However... linux makes a GREAT gameserver. Hands down linux can handle more people then windows..
