It could not utilise quartz/core graphics, and the hard-drive was not a real partition, there was no 3D acceleration or access to the video card, so it made the overall system appear slow.

They seem to now have it running natively on brand new i7 machines with high-end video cards. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
