Ehmm... as far as I know... A machine with an overclocked ASUS GeForce2 card
has reached over 100 fps in 1600x1200 Quake3...
So 30FPS isn't so much nowadays... would be nice to reach 30 FPS
in that resolution on my miggy, but I really really doubt that
the old circuts can make it happen...
Someone mentioned that the Voodoo3 was a lot faster than the Permedia2.
and... hello? My 8MB Voodoo 1 (Rush) card was a lot faster than
the Permedia2... It must be the slowest chip available... why they
didn't use somtn like TNT2 that was available when they made the cards
I don't understand... maybe it wouldn't help because of the slow
bus speeds...
My opinion is that AmigaOS should be ported to PC.
The hardware isn't bad anymore... it was real crap some years ago,
that's for sure, but it has improved some though.
Imagine having AmigaOS run on a 1GHz machine, with the best
GFX card that money could buy. And there would even be upgrades
available every month.
Windows is useless... it's the biggest crap EVER made...
Linux is to loose ended... everything comes either uncompiled. without
installers... and it's a bit to complicated for most people.
It's opensourced so everyone makes they're own version of parts
of the OS, and you don't know which is the more standard if such
exists...
AmigaOS is completly uniqe and easy to use (and it's even possible
to fix stuff without having to install the whole OS all over again),
and that combined with the best HW available would make one heck of
a machine...
Well, I dunno... just freaking out... I need somtn new and faster than
my 040 + 240MHz PPC. Seems that only a fraction of the PPC can be
used because of context switching and stuff too...
