That is the US keyboard setup, the <>\/ keys will be in different locations too IIRC _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

No, the <>/\ keys are in the usual PC place :/ I just wish Apple still supported PS/2 stuff in their OSes. I miss my Logitech Media Keyboard.  _________________ Kimmotalk is where all the cool people hang.

I didn't knew they made them! I thought it was just USB-PS2 converters, for like USB mice so you can use them in a PS2 port. :/ _________________Kimmotalk is where all the cool people hang.

Sounds cool to me! What are the specs of the hack and the mac? Are there any 3D bench tests that run multi-platform? I'd expect the number crunching and memory stuff to be pretty similar, but maybe there's an openGL test that would be good? _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly."

The Hac is running a 3.4ghz Pentium D, with 4GB Ram and a GeForce 9600GT. Unless I can find someone with like a G5 Power Mac or an Intel Mac, it'll be quite unfair as I only own a G4 Power Mac.
The Windows PC is same as the Hac, but it'll be running Windows 7 off a different HDD.
I don't know what we can use to benchmark the stuff though. I suppose Folding@Home is a decent benchmark for how well an OS can talk to its CPU. I could run Halo without the frame limiter on, on the Hac and the PC and compare the framerates maybe? :/
I dunno to be honest.

Ok, so when I get home tomorrow, I'll run Halo on the Mac, then on the PC and compare the FPS. Then I'll leave Folding@home on on each PC for a day, and see how many points per day it makes. But until I find something like a Mac port of 3dmar- EDIT: I just found out about CineBench. It's a cross-platform rendering benchmark program. I know it's a bit "who does rendering on Hackintosh?!", but it'll have to do for now.  _________________Kimmotalk is where all the cool people hang.
