Fastest powermac g4 to run morphOS on?

Nope, on my 1.42ghz mac mini even stuff like Aladdin isnt quite perfect (although its pretty close). Having said that though Ive not spend much time fine tuning euae config, so there's probably a little more juice that can be squeezed. From my experiences with it on othr systems, and the difference a bit of tuning can make Id hazzard a guess it could be maybe 10-20% either side of a stock a1200 without fastram (depending on the game).

Big difference between a similarly specced G4 vs. an x86 system with euae (favoring x86 of course). Hopefully this will change eventually, but if the "progress" reported thus far for the ppc jit 68k emulator is anything to go by I wouldnt hold my breath unfortunately.

It's of no real consequence to me really. My a1200+'040 card keeps me pretty content for custom chipset hitting software. The main reason I even set up UAE on any of my systems is for the sake of "completion" (especially true with my amithlon box being that its OS3.x based it just "feels" right to have access to any classic software), plus depending on what Im doing its not always practical and/or worth the effort to switch machines.

A 320x256x8 screenmode makes quite a difference to speed I must admit, but then things dont look quite right (ditherig and/or wrong colors for example). It also requires a little luck as far as monitor/gfx card goes to even be able to create it.

To each his own, but if something doesnt work full speed, full framerate its not worth the effort in my opinion (although I guess its easier to think like that when I have an ok-ish real amiga as well).

Being that Im a bit of a perfectionist and things running properly is a bit of a concern of mine Id hazzard a guess Haywirepc mean things like Xtreme Racing, capital punishment, Tzero, Super Stardust, AlienBreed3d, scene demos and so on. With emulation "heavy" games arent always ones that require more resources on thier native machne, a leason that has cost me quite a few upgrades over the years
It's more about knowing that everything's fine should I decide I want to use "Software X" than particularly wanting to use it

Actually my wording mightn't be the best there. When I say "even stuff like" I mean a gamestyle that should be bread and butter for a stock a1200, whereas most people would be more concerned about performance of things like AlienBreed3d, Breathless, and so on.
Aladdin seems surprisingly heavy on euae vs some other bread and butter style AGA games.

Id be interested in any feedback or suggestions you could give me though when you do get around to it. Im pretty new to MOS and its different versions of software, tweaks and so on and Id be a happy man if I could get a little more performance out of euae for when I want to use it.
