Does it run Glider, F/A-18 Hornet, SimCity 2000, Spectre, Super Tetris or Hellcats?
If not, then sorry, but it doesn't do anything for me.
Well it presumably would if you set up Linux on it and installed some sort of emulator (I wonder if you could run Basilisk II or something on it - I saw someone ran Qemu and XP on one, it seems anything is possible if you know your way around Linux, compiling things etc), but it probably wouldn't be a lot better than on the LC475
Hmm, i could do that, but sticking with the 475 is much more affordable, and easier!
With a PS3 i have to first fork out the AU$999 or whatever for a PS3, then figure out how to put Linux on one, then compile Basilisk II, etc etc. With the LC475 all i do is plug it in and turn it on
Hmm, I had assumed it wouldn't be very good on that chip (I thought I saw somewhere that a big difference between smooth and choppier is noticeable if you have a dual-display setup with the tower and move between the screen attached to the graphics card and the one on the built-in video) - what are the visual effects like for you then?
They're a bit choppy, yes, but they're nowhere near as bad as what you'd expect. I'm sure if i had only, say, 64MB of RAM or something it would be very bad, but with 256 its really quite usable. The thing about OS X is that it LOVES RAM, so if you have a crap GPU or CPU, but a decent amount of RAM, the amount of RAM may make up for other areas where your Mac is less-well-endowed.
