Which Powermac?

Quote:

That would work, Radeon PC card for MorphOS and Nvidia Apple card for OSX.
If you connected both to the same monitor you could probably limit your system to one display without using a VGA or DVI switch.

Splendid :-)

(original resolution)

Quote:

Now that is a good photo (at least the resolution is pretty damned good).
But I can't pinpoint anything that would ID the system the OS is running on.

I can't see the picture.

TRy right mouse key and download picture as file.

Don't work.

Quote:

Yes I can confirm that we have it on AmiParty.
Rzookol show it . And system run nice and very fast .

ok, it seems that there was only one lame photo of my pmac g5 on this meeting so:

BTW. G5 PCIe port is highly experimental and for 99% won't be available in MorphOS 3.10 (3.11, 3.12, ...) because more important things have higher priority.

Quote:

It is a shame

Quote:

OK, that definitely IS a PCIe G5.
But what things would have higher priority?

Quote:

Probably polishing up the work done to make MorphOS boot on the X5000 and/or 3D support for some of the RadeonHD video cards.

If not those two reasons, then perhaps they are closer to having an x64 release and want to complete a first version of that, instead of spending more time on the last unsupported G5 PowerMac models.

Unless I missed some news recently, the video card support for RadeonHD to be used in the X5000 is/was not up to the usual release standards of the MorphOS Dev. Team, so it would make sense to me that they improve that area with a higher priority than supporting the PCIe G5 PowerMac models.

OK, I can understand the argument in placing priority on the Radeon HD video card drivers.
We already have a very good R500 driver, but why limit us to the X1950XTX as our best performing video card?

I think the projects is related, x5000 (pcie) and radeonhd is the same goal for G5 pcie work.

Well, it can be like with the iMac G5 port not happening: some crucial parts are not working properly and thus the port is on ice. Until the Team says that a PowerMac 11.2 port is on it's way it might as well not exist at all for all we care.

Quote:

Is that a "rhetorical" question? Not sure I understand your meaning, in the question posed in that last sentence.

Quote:

Sorry, poorly worded, and yes rhetorical.
Although, I would probably be satisfied with PCIe G5 support, rather than worry about better video cards.
The majority of prospective X5000 customers probably don't share that view.

No any news for G5 PCIE support in the next mos release? (with radeon card)

Quote:

Probably not going to be announced until introduced.

Bump!

I had the opportunity to buy a sweet G5 Quad 2.5 for a very reasonable price today. I have no interest in the X5000, but I am interested PCIe G5. Every-time I upgrade my MOS machine, I sell one of my registered older ones locally, creating a brand new MOS user.

I've finally decided I no longer have the space to keep my boxed Quad G5, time has marched on and web browsers for Snow (d'oh!) Leopard are getting more progressively outdated,

So I'll be selling my Radeon equiped, maxed out Quad 2.5, so knowing my luck, 40 seconds after I sell it they'll be a release of MorphOS for it.

I'll take one for the team!

Actually, I can't get over how much the price has collapsed on these things, still I'll still have my dual 2 which does run MorphOS

In what way? Both leopard-webkit and TenFourFox use fairly recent browser versions.

(Snow Leopard is for Intel systems only, by the way.)

Quote:
A quad G5 is a bit of a waste when you only use one core running MorphOS anyway.

Yeah, but it's DDR2, not DDR1, and it's 2.5 cf 2! that's .5 betters!

Also I've got a dual 2 and a Quad 2.5 these things are huge and heavy, if MorphOS was available for the Quad 2.5 it would be a non-brainer to get rid of the 2, but it isn't. Unless anyone else knows better?

i have a quad g5 and a radeonhd on it ... waiting for mos on the quad here from much much time.
I hope it will be releasede before Qemu will be more faster than my real quad....
