Depends on your CPU/video card. On my 1.6GHz AthlonXP and NVidia GeForce3 Ti500, I'm getting 3500-4000 on a machine running Folding@Home, KDE, and an FTP server. Once again, what is your CPU/video card? -- Karol Pietrzak <noodlez84@earthlink.net> PGP KeyID: 3A1446A0
Hi Karol, A P-III 1GHz, Nvidia G2 MX400. p.s. Now that I have 3D working what is a good SuSE 8.1 available 3D app to try it out? btw I would prefer something other than a shoot-em-up thing PeterB On Saturday 07 December 2002 03:10 pm, Karol Pietrzak wrote:

It's just a cute 3D ski game where tux skis on his belly. Give that a shot. :) -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe.. I tell you what you should see.
Dear Ben, Awesome! Very cool. I started out on the Adventure Cave and ZORK, so this is very slick. Thanks1 ......................... PeterB On Saturday 07 December 2002 03:34 pm, Ben Rosenberg wrote:

In other words, you're looking for something "cool" (for lack of better phrasing)? Try out Celestria. "Celestia is a free real-time space simulation that lets you experience our universe in three dimensions. Unlike most planetarium software, Celestia doesn't confine you to the surface of the Earth. You can travel throughout the solar system, to any of over 100,000 stars, or even beyond the galaxy." --http://www.shatters.net/celestia/ It's actually on the SuSE CDs, believe it or not. I spent around half-an-hour playing around with it the first time I opened it. Screenshots at http://www.shatters.net/celestia/gallery.html . Tuxracer is a nice little game, but it gets boring quick. You race down hillls as a penguin. Also available on the SuSE CDs. Of course, there's other 3D programs that you can try. Search for "3d" in the YPM (YaST package manager). e.g., 3d_chess, bzflag. All cool stuff. Definitely check out Celestia. On Saturday 07 December 2002 16:29, Peter B Van Campen wrote:

Dear Karol, Celestia inded was on the 8.1 CDs. It is very, very cool and has a professional look too. Thanks for the advice. PeterB On Saturday 07 December 2002 03:46 pm, Karol Pietrzak wrote:
