Lingon and the docs above are very useful - I'm just about to try to cut back on background system processes on some MiniMacs I've got playing QT video files using GEM - they seem to intermittently miss frames, there are 5 intel machines running and usually 3 or 4 are playing cleanly and 1 or 2 dropping frames for a while. I'm hoping that cutting out some background stuff will help. I think that it is a problem that was not there with G4 MiniMacs, but will check - any hints as to what I should be looking for that can be safely turned off? or is the new architecture with the intel grahpics chipsets etc just not up to the job? simon _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
