STATS --> !0.1.5 vs Jaguar

AMAZING! I didn't know Photoshop 6 and Quake III ran natively under OS X at all (aside from the beta for Quake III).

Good comparison. Way to go CNet!

As far as I know Photoshop doesn't run under OSX, 7 only. Maybe a typo.
 
I really wish whoever performed those benchmarks would have gone the extra mile and kept the same machines/OSes in some kind of order.

You have one test with the eMac running 10.1.5, then running Jag, then the iMac running 10.1.5, then Jag.

A few tests down they reverse the machines, and also the OSes. It's difficult to see that the test proves anything, and really it doesn't prove anything. Jaguar is not all around faster, which surprised (and dismayed) me.

I don't have Jaguar yet, and with the many problems people seem to be having with peripheral devices working and networking issues (mail specifically), I may just wait until the update is out.
 
I have to disagree with that test on Quake and Photoshop. 6.01 ran in classic. Only Photoshop 7 is native, and also I have tested Quake 3 myself on my hardware and I get 30 more FPS in Jaguar. So I'd question these CNet tests.

P.S You can get the OSX version of Quake 3 here. www.macgamefiles.com look for 1.31 then the 1.31 beta 5 update. Those are the latest. Have fun. :)
