With Poser 4.03 (3D CGI app), I find very very little render time increase over native boot Windows.

Probably depends on how your M$ Windows is configured maybe. For example: how many background programs are running, just for one. I find M$ Windows to be slower than KDE. Really, it's hard to judge sometimes. it's almost like comparing apples and oranges, depending on what software you're running on Windows.

We are the borg!

You will be assimilated!

Your distinctiveness will be added to our own!

Resistance is futile!

No I disagree with the whole thing. The control of theft, better inventory, service, and so on sounds like more empty promises. And most assuredly will add to the price of the product collectively. Bah!

but I know I'm

iphitus and Jason;

After some reading (FAQ), I understand the problems emulators can have, especially with M$ apps. At this time I'm dual booting Windows98 and Linux and slowly moving over to Linux. I really doubt if I will bring M$ apps over to Linux now but maybe learn more about programming under Linux (which is what I want to do) and port some of my M$ programs I've written over the years to Linux or just rewrite.

Anyway, for now I don't have Internet service at home and my only access to the net is here at work with a M$ machine, so Linux for me is at a slow crawl. But as soon as can get DSL, then I can download some badly needed help files my version of KDE (don't what version it is) doesn't have, If I can still get them.

BTW Jason thanks for the link.

Thanks for the reply, Emulator! The magic word. Ok... I'll go look in the "Emulation" Forum... see what I can find there.

Ok, I've seen this in another topic...

- For a whole host of other applications, bridge technologies exist. E.g. the famous (infamous to some?) Wine technology, Win4Lin, ... which ironically allows me to run some Win98/2000 games again on Linux I can't run on XP (no, not even in 'compatible' mode).

Win4Lin... What is this? Does this allow me to run M$ Windows apps like (games for example) on Linux? If so this may be what I'm looking for. Do you use it with KDE? My brother Ix can't tell me.

Who can? Also what is DosBox? Same thing?

KDE is ok, it's most like M$windows but looks better. Learned some programming at the command prompt with Microware 0S9, and then M$ using Borland C++, Visual Basic for Windows and Visual Basic for DOS. After a while got use the gui environment I guess, it sure makes a person lazy.

Anyway... enough rambling.

talk about being ot :huh:

we should be ashamed ;) ....especially the mod here :P

Hey... I'm the OT King... What can I say?

Not to Mention a thread hyjacker .

Well.. you are right that games in linux is a bit dry at the moment.. but then again.. the only game I play right now are emulated games, such as snes, gameboyadvance, and dos (yes.. I am playing Dune2 dos version right now in dosbox.. anything wrong with that?)

I don't know too much about dosbox, just getting into Linux but will it run M$ Windows games like Quake2 and Return to Castle Wolfenstien?

I'm doing the same thing here, using M$ Windows to run games .

Is there a way to run them in Linux intstead of M$ Windows ?

I havn't forgotten, hang on to it. We'll get together, I'll call.

Or, install a new video card without preparing for it! I have found that to be enjoyable. Or add a partition to fstab, but then change it to a different format. That's also fun to get out of!

 

I mean, really, at least break something!

Speaking of video cards... How did you make out with your newest, latest, greatest and faster video card? I take it you got it in... working.

The first try: 398.6

Second try: 459

Third try: 491.2

And fourth: 489.5

All right... I had enough of this!
