domino Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 3D Mark where? Is that the name? I'll google it and see what I find. Yes please do. I also prepped a forum for you http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=12286 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteUD Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I have tried it with a mini core duo and the disk won't partition because "some files cannot be moved". I'm not in a position to back everything up at the moment. I tried making the windows partition smaller but no luck. I have almost 20GB free and I wanted a 6GB windows partition. Surely there must me 6 gigs of movable stuff in there somewhere! Quite annoying really. I don't want to lose everything and I also don't really want to reinstall everything anyway. I'll let you know if I manage to sort it. If anyone has the same problem and fixes it, let me know :-) You need a minimum partition of 10GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m.e.slater Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 You need minimum of 5. It says you need 10 free minimum because for some reason you have to have at least 5 free left on the osx partition. So to get a 5gig windows partition you actually need 10 gig free.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonefr Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 and what about BOOT CAMP on real PC? lol maybe we can get the "ALT" key too at startup to but up WINDOWS ! im sure someone is gonna try it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John the Geek Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Restarts fine, no freeze up. 3D Mark is running... Looks great... only runny at like 3 fps though... Is that part of the test? second test is 1fps... but it looks awesome. 3rd test is average 0fps.... this isn't going so well. I'll be back to post my score once it's done.

John the Geek Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 You installed the video driver and such, right? Yep, ATI is plastered everywhere I'm tinkering with the settings now to see if I can't speed it up. Ok, Tried OpenGL, instead of Direct3D... not a lot of change. Still choppy at about 2-4 fps... EDIT: Driver version is 8.24.0.0 from ATI, date of 3/2/2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neddy Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 from what i have read on the 3d mark forums for xp, those frame rates are a little low, but that is not an indication that the test is going slow. It has low frame rates during the test, and then spits out a hard number on how your macine did. Most test have 4-1 fps during differnt tests.

Yeah 3DMark 2006 is for testing the latest greatest graphics cards, and it really pushes them to the limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangr Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 M.E. - I had the same problem (some files could not be moved). i had 16G free on my MPB, reparied permissions, deleted about 4G (Q and OpenOSX), repaired permissions again, restarted and finally got BootCamp to make the partition. Am installing XP now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Mnemonic Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 HEY!!!! I successfully booted from the Fedora Core 5 CD1. I'd personally be really interested to know if Boot Camp is all that's necessary to install a bog-standard FC5.
