I don't know this as fact as I've only tried one Game and > four Benchmarks, but it does look promising. I play WoW a bit. Around here, we (my SigO and I) have only gotten so far as getting it running on Linux. I had a machine lying around I was going to try to get running FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE not long ago, and see if getting WoW working was as good on FreeBSD as on Debian GNU/Linux. Unfortunately, the machine appears to have developed some hardware issues in the couple months it lay dormant, so that project is off until: A. I get a new machine working, B. I nail down the specific issues with this one and get it working, or C. it becomes eas[y|ier] to get 3D acceleration working with a Radeon. Assuming one of those things happens, I hope I remember to report back in this thread. Thanks for the links. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] Phillip J.
