My new Mac

[Sarien]

Currently en route to my house, is my new (at least to me) Macintosh.

Dual G4 Quicksilver. I am extremely pleased.
Dual 1Ghz G4 Processors, 80 GB Hard Drive, 2x SuperDrive (Dvd Burner), Geforce 4 video card. OS X 10.3 Panther Installed. Something new I'll have to try to test emulating Continuum with.
My Cube however, even with the new flashed Geforce proved not to be as much a success as I had hoped. The Emulation lag can make it seem like you're actually experiencing net lag, because of the client nature of Continuum. I hit a pretty solid 29-31 framerate, but the controls were spongy, and the game was lagged to the point of being somewhat jerky. Disappointing, considering I know that with a native client, my little cube would run the hell out of it. i'll try it with the quicksilver, and see what happens. Just have to wait for microsoft to get off their ass, and write hardware acceleration into the next versions of VPC like they've promised. That would solve most of the problem, I imagine.

Someday I'll get two of the new 30" apple cinema displays ($3200 each), and the special new video card it takes to control a display that large ($599), and be able to play SS on that. I want to see a warbird as big as my fist.

[Jeansi]

[End]

WTF no its sooo juicy mmmm

[arwen_7]

i thought continuum never worked on mac's......

[Jeansi]

I think it doesn't in fact. You can do other stuff than play continuum with a computer though.

[Mr. Peanuts]

no, you can emulate it using a Windows emulator which is what he said. However, it lags when you do that due to the emulation algorithms and such.

[unrealistic]

It looks like a monster! (in a good way)

I didn't even bother reading the opening post, the picture was enough for me

[RabbitRapist]

Dude, where do you get all the money from? Gimme me some?

[Sarien]

I would send you some money, but the shipping to Norway would kill me.

That someday will probably be the year 2500, hehe. I want two, but it's hard for me to justify in my mind, 7000 dollars for two displays. It's hard for me to justify 3200 for one. But the Quicksilver should be here Tuesday, unless UPS works tomorrow, in which case it'd be tomorrow. I'm pretty jazzed about it.

really? :eek:
