For the guys that are seeing inprovments in framerates - can i ask how much these inproments are by? Jeb what were you getting before?

Jeb has a new G5, so he's cheating =P

I'm playing it on the G4933 with 1.5GB of RAM and a GeForce4MX 64MB video card.  I'm seeing about a 5-10 FPS bump on average for GhR and AA.  

I was playing Armagedtron on the iBook and it went from 25 fps to 50 fps at the slow parts (all the same settings).  It made a huge difference on the iBook 700.  

Wonder for people who did complete reinstalls whether cleaning up your system and the de-defragmentation of your harddrive has also contributed to the speed and framerates as well as the new system.

My systems were pretty clean, I do a complete reinstall every so often, just for system health.  So I doubt much if any of it has to do with that (although journaling the HD may help a bit, which I did)

I installed the Panther Update and am seeing improved frame rates in games such as America's Army, MOH:AA, and JK2.  The improved frame rates are pretty consistent with another machine running my same spec's with a clean install of Panther.  Haven't yet de-fragged my HD yet since Norton 7.0 is an OS9 whore.  I'll try this weekend, FPS better increase by a little.

I've seen and heard of speed increases of up to 10-20% in some games and general OS snappiness. Not bad..  Grin
