came across of this post by santaduck (a well respected macintosh player from tacops and now currently frag ops) He found  something which supposedly raises the FPS in Unreal Tornement 2003 and will make Frag Ops run better beiung that it is a mod for UT2K3. See for yourself, not like I can test it anyway. Enjoy

just 'fixed' the url

for what game do you want it to show the FPS?

open the console (~ key) and type "stat fps" to see your framerate in both UT2k3, and AA.

in ghr you open the options.xml file,
find the line
<showFPS>FALSE</showFPS>
and change it to
<showFPS>TRUE</showFPS>

Another boost for games, is panther. On my G5, memory speeds went up by about 30%. And the interface went up by 300% in some cases.

I also came across a openAL improvement for UT2k3 (but not AA?).

You gotta compile it, so most of you knoobs are shit out of luck.

Hmm.  How much of a performance gain did you see from OpenAL, Jeb?
