Order of the Butterfly

Magnetic:
But you did behave that way; Just because I "only" had two pegs so far,
One Peg 1 (which i still miss btw, it simply had a cute layout ;)
Who is gonna shout girly eh? ;) )and now a Peg2, doesnt make
me less competent.
And I am not missleading, If you had read my postings carefully,
you would have noticed that I basicly said that:
Mos runs fine but some applications gains from faster CPU and Memory of the G4,
Namely Emulator and Videostuff, they *will* not run that good on a G3
That Linux runs acceptable (btw I was as masochist as Analogkid back the Peg1 days
and did a Gentoo Stage 1 Installation, I was probably a bit more, I used KDE :D)
But will definetly profit more then Mos from the G4, especially since some apps
support the Altivec Engine,
That MacOS via MOL on a G4 is allready very slow but unusable on the G3 and I stand
to what I said.
So this hardly means that the G3 is "useless for everything"
It just means that it is useless for one out of three possible Operating Systems
which where asked here.
And I simply try to be realistic, would you prefer diehardware buying the G3 in good
belive and then come back beeing angry against you, because you told him that OS X runs
fast enough on such a setup?
So my final word on this topic, as advice for diehardware:
If this G3 is cheap and you just want to sneak in a bit, go for it,
as MorphOS is indeed very fast anyway.
If you need more power later on, you may be able to order a G4 Card
from Genesi (Not sure though whether they are still available)
But if you can afford it, better go for a G4, you wont regret it ;)
