Quote: Originally posted by PBG4 Dude Cool article! Makes me want to come up with a reason to program the G5 in ASM. How come? The C/C++ compiler will support the 64-bit addressing, so no assembler is needed.

Quote: Originally posted by Tomb of the Unknown Right, so you go ahead and port it then. I'll just wait over here. Nah. I would be surprised if IBM hasn't already ported Darwin to POWER5 hardware. Once you have done that, the rest is a matter…

Quote: Originally posted by Tomb of the Unknown You mean, "Neither does the POWER4!" See any Macs with POWER4's in them? No? Gee, wonder why? If you run OSX in one of IBM's POWER4 machines, isn't that a POWER4 Mac? Not that I am doing t…

I solved the lack of G5-compatible VPC by buying a complete 1.7 GHz Athlon PC on eBay for a grand total of $107. That price included a 15" monitor as well as shipping and handling, of course. Why pay more for a PC simulation when the real thing is m…

Quote: Originally posted by Stoo Quartz is probably slower if you don't have the necessary video hardware for Quartz Extreme (GeForce 2 MX/Radeon or higher), which a G3 PowerBook probably won't have. I can see how a more powerful video card w…

When it comes to lacking graphics speed on OSX, isn't Aqua partly to blame? I know that my G3 Powerbook can draw graphics much faster under OS9 than under OSX.

Quote: Originally posted by AdvocateUK Well, since buying my G5 I've gotten used to the Apple way of doing things (ie it's easy) instead of the Windows way of doing things (ie configure these 100 things then cross your fingers and it might work) …

Quote: Originally posted by jouster Would it then be true to modify my earlier post to something along the lines of: for now.....most apps don't need to address 64 bit memory space, but as they become even bigger, many more will. Software …

Quote: Originally posted by Tidris That makes sense. So maybe the real issue is to tell the fans not to slow down when running OSX on an overclocked G5. Maybe the Darwin source code would give a clue as to how that can be accomplished. The co…

Quote: Originally posted by Stoo I thought that the G5 fans ran at full speed unless told otherwise. (For example, don't PowerPC Linuxes' users have to put up with full fan speed, as they aren't under OS control yet?) If an OS is required, the po…
