Testing Vista versus linux/xp/98 on 3 machines.
1st test machine:
Celeron 500 mhz
256 megs sdram 133
geforce 4 pci
2nd test machine:
1800+
768 megs ram
9600xt
3rd test machine:
2500+
1 gig ram
9600pro
Vista ultimte
Running Win 98 in the past, all the celery 500 could play decently was UT with 4 players and Quake 2. With Linux, it can play quake 3 at 640x480.
The athlon 1800+ runs opengl games FASTER then the 2500+, runs everything better in fact.
I'm quite impressed. If only I could figure out my network problems...
Edit: I meant Quake 2. And UT, decently, was 15 fps :\. This plays Q3 at around 30.
