Dance with the "behaviors"Posted by Antonio Hui
A thought about behavior.
What's that ? Very simple, "Repeat in Style" What that's means ? Think it is a form of dance, like Waltz, Ballet, Minuet, Tango, Flamingo, Samba, Hip Hop ...etc, they all repeated in their own style. Rhythms, Pattens, Movements or even costumes all made them different to each others. The fact is, the most important concept is "Interaction", interact with your dancing partner (the other graphic elements) in the stage or interact with music... or etc. Let's dance Antonio Hui ps: Finally, I have my copy... more information will be posted later. May I .....
May I introduce my dancing partner miss Mystic. Mystic is the code name for Power Macintosh G4 MP (Gigabit Ethernet).
Yes, she passed the test of "Motion Compatibility Checker" with the new 9800 pro graphic card installed. but.... the installer from the "Motion" CD have an additional test for checking the CPU speed. All G4's below 667 Mhz are not allow for any installation. Well... time to changing partner, that is expected. to be continue..... Antonio Hui
Very curious at the moment. Can I found a way to run "Motion" on "Mystic" G4 ?
Well.... The answer is Yes. (please don't ask how, can't tell) But, the performance is so so, not much "real time" feeling, except the "Ram Preview" is OK, stable or not, is still a question. Apple is right, motion is built on today technology not for the outdated machine. I will dance with miss "Mystic" for few days, and feel how slow it is, than changing the dancing partner to the "Mirror Door" (Music up) Minuet: a form of dance in 17th century, real slow one.

Sorry Harry, as I said, I will not tell anyone.
The reason to do that trial is only want to know how bad it was and to prove that the "Motion Compatibility Checker v0.1" posted from Apple in not accuracy. Yes, people from Apple will watch this forum frequently and hope them to fix it, otherwise, people may accidentally place the order. So that, if your G4's CPU speed is less than 867Mhz, cancel the order of ATI 9800 and refund the copy of "Motion" to Apple ASAP. Good Luck Antonio Hui
t probably can be made to work in a similar maner to the Quicksilvers. In both cases the week point tis the power supply in these machines. The AGP slot on the G4 for the graphics card also has to match 2time or 4 times.
Antonio, I think mentioned someone installing the 9800 on a stock G4 400 & fooling the G4 into thinking it was an 867mhz with some sucess. Dave
I don't think the sawtooth can, because the power supply is not enough for the ATI 9800 pro.
... ATI recommends a 300-Watt power supply or greater to ensure normal system operation where a number of other internal devices are installed. [www.atitech.com] //------------------------ Check list: 1. power supply must be 300W or greater. (Open the computer case and check the label on the power supply) 2. run the "Motion Compatibility Checker" by Apple (it's check 3 things, a: Graphic Card, b: OSX version, c: QT version. They forgot to check the cpu speed.) 3. run the "Terminal" program and type the following, /usr/sbin/sysctl hw.cpufrequency The computer will response like this. hw.cpufrequency: 799999998 (for reference only, from my iBook G4/800) The reading must be greater than this "667000000", otherwise, the installer don't let you install anything. Good Luck Antonio Hui
