Title: What do you use your PPC for?
Post by: nasty on March 31, 2006, 08:16:18 PM

As like most people I've always wanted a BPPC card and over the years I've had afew of these cards, but apart from video playback and enhancing the odd game. I dont really use it much, so I'm just wondering what you guys use your PPC cards for?

ehm..Playing games like Heretic II, Quake II etc
Playing mp3's and finally using some WarpOS optimized datatypes such as WarpDt for example but mostly my 604e is in vacation and my 68060 is doing all the hard work which is the sad reality for us classic PPC owners  :-(

if you use something like this distributed.net (http://www.distributed.net/download/clients.php#amiga) (ppc executable) the rest of the amiga can work flowless with other tasks?
