Oh, yeah! ShadowKilla is super sweet! Thanks for the tip! Konan

Also, I can turn off the genie effect, but the windows still "Shrink and expand" when I minimize and maximize them. Can I turn this off somehow? Konan

Anything to speed up the performance. In Windows, you can make it such that the contents of a window are not visible while dragging. Is there such an option in OS X? Any other speed tips will be nice. Konan

Is there any way to turn off the shadows and fancy effects in OS X? In windows XP, all of that can be turned off for greater performance and I was wonderng if the same was true for OS X? Konan

Thanks for the info, 800x600 16 bit you say, That kinda sucks. Are you sure that it is really being accelerated an this is not just in software mode? If that is the kind of performance i could expect, then I would rather stick with my iMac. Konan

It turns ou that system is a 9500 tower with the 603e cpu replaced by a G3 from sonnet. Question.. Does anyone out there have a PCI video card (perhaps a Raedon?) and also has OpenGL acceleration in OS X? I am not concerned with the Quartz features, as long as I can have generic OpenGL...

How horrible! So much for a smooth transition between the two. You'd think that the AltiVec library would kick into software mode if the G4 was not detected. Konan

Thanks, that is what I thought. I know that how it works in the PC world, but I am new to this Mac stuff. No such thing as stupid questions, only stupid people :S Konan

Looks good. I'll keep it in mind for the next version. I have been meaing to abstract my vectors in any case. I would probably wrap them in macros instead of functions to ensure top performance. Question... what happens if someone on a G3 runs the program? Will it simply switch to software...

Are the Alti-Vec extensions seamless? i.e. will I have to change my Ansi C++ code to accomidate it (other than a header perhaps)? Can you point me to a suitable reference (tutorial perhaps)? Konan

Looks really interesting. Unfortuantely, it would require a massive overhaul of my program (and render it OS specific, as it is currently pure Ansi C++). Are there any other methods to get a more modest speed increase in the short term? Konan

What is the best way to optimize for fast floating point operations using Project Builder 2.0? I already have my project set to optimization Level 3, but is there anything else I can do to make floating point calculations go faster? Konan

I am aware of this. The reason why I asked is because I do not have OpenGL acceleration, I cannot confirm that the program that I wrote will indeed be accelerated on a machine that is. I suspect that I the opengl.framework file is all I need, but I want to be sure.

The deal is that I may be swapping my iMac (purple) for this machine, so I am not actually spending any cash (except for a new video card). Since the Quartz extreme features will not run on a PCI card, will generic OpenGL acceleration? This is my only reason for making the swap. Konan

Hey ByerlyRips, I am new to the Mac world. What exactly is a 9600? What would the newer G3's be as opposed to 9600. Konan

Does anybody know if the supported video cards (e.g. GeForce 2) come in PCI. It seems that this system does not have an AGP slot. Konan

Thank you very much :) Konan

It there a utility for OS X 10.1.5 that will tell me all of my system's information, like RAM and stuff? Konan
