Come on guys, I said I

one, not that I just bought one after seeing this. Although Ian does make it look easy
You eat Cadillacs; Lincolns too... Mercurys and Subarus.

Come on guys, I thought the idea of all this sort of thing was to write good code, not just any-old-code-will-do...
I say get the basic rendering system working well first, then think about threading it out. As it stands, what we have right
now is a build that means a dual-300 Octane is no better than a single-400 Octane. Not good IMO.
By definition (I would have thought) any extra efficiency in the code will automatically be passed on to all threads when running on multiple cores. That's a major saving in time, energy & hence money.
People often moan about MS apps getting all bloaty. We should be on our guard against freeware sw going the same way.

I like the artwork and interface in 7, it is very polished. Everything from the bootsplash to the wallpaper looks very well done, if you don't like aero you can disable it. But, I like it. Also includes desktop gadgets and other "yeeesh!" things.ajerimez wrote: I'm still using XP, having avoided Vista at all costs. I also prefer the old gray Win2k-style interface, which, ironically, looks more like OS X than Vista or 7 do, and leaves more system resources free for things I actually care about.
I upgraded because of hardware compatibility. But all of the system tools have been upgraded in windows 7, everything just seems easier. It is probably the most mac-like experience you will get from windows. I'm using all the included drivers, didn't have to download anything from amd or nvidia to get my graphics or chipset working.ajerimez wrote: What are the advantages of 7 over XP? What will it let me do that I can't already do in XP?
Try it for yourself and see what you think. Of course, if you like XP then keep using it. There's always headaches when installing a new operating system, or even reinstalling the same one.ajerimez wrote: Most of the answers online seem to take the position that it's new, so it must be better.

I haven't noticed this. Specifically, I play unreal tournament 3, with the settings turned all the way up at 1600x1024, on XP x64 I would get maybe 35-45 FPS and 25ms latency (with a local server). With 7, it's gone up to 60-75 fps and 10ms lag. Here I point out that in order to get the game to run at all, I had to install a patch which probably helped out a bit in the speed department as well.ajerimez wrote: 7 is generally slower than XP, especially in OpenGL, so hopefully it offers some compelling new features to justify its existence.

Nah, I'd rather have a Veyron any day. GT is waaaay too slow. ;D
