XP 64 on an Intel Mac?
-
I got the standard Radeon X 1900 one. What can I say? My employer's cheap.
Not complaining, though.
The 1900 has served me well so far.
I think I managed to get the right driver off the ATI site.
Would be nice to see this issue resolved. I'm dying to get back to Indigo-ing again. Using Maxwell has rekindled my appreciation of both Ono's and Whaat's work.
Maxwell's seems to be slightly better at picking up on very fine details, but it's SU plugin (while it has advantages) falls somewhat short compared to SkIndigo.
H*ll, I just spent β¬ 319 on Vista Ultimate and β¬ 720 on RAM just to be able to enjoy Indigo and SkIndigo to the fullest extend. Ono, Whaat - you owe me.
Nah - the app's worth it.

Last update. Ultimate 64 runs like a charm. Yesterday evening I installed 16 g of Kingston RAM. Never ever had a system that runs so smoothly.
Tried a 13000 x 8000 render (two sets of lights, MultiLight on
). Maxwell did not crash. Wonder how long it would take for a render like that to clear.
Henceforth I shall be known as Lord Stinkie of RAM.

i seen a picture of xp and mac running at the same time! although i looked through the internet for it but i did find this picture.

I think thats a program called parallels.
Its an emulation program that runs different OSs on a mac OS by providing 'virtual hardware' for the OS to run on.
-
I don't use Parallels, but from the info I read on the web , it is pretty fast on the 'usual' software.
The only thing that isn't supported to the fullest is the GPU graphical card power.So any software that depends a lot on the graphical card (like Sketchup) will have a slow down.
For applications as Office etc... it should work fine.
