Although I totally agree that the using a PPC on a mac is vastly overrated, I am very curious to find out how fast the PPC is compared to Intel's offerings, if the MacOS wasn't slowing down the PPC so much. Has anyone done any sort of benchmarking in comparable builds of Linux to test out how much faster the PPC would be than the PII, if the OS wasn't slowing it down so much?
Wow, I can emulate only if I have an accelerator card. Connectix's Virtual Game Station lets you emulate VERY VERY well without any additional hardware. I think that's much more impressive than needing an accelerator card that costs more than a brand new Playstation.
