Re: [Dev-C++] Longhorn

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

It sounds like you have to deactivate some features if you want to use
your computer for important stuff - just because fast 3d-graphics cards
are fast doesn't mean that 3d graphics is possible without quite large
amounts of cpu load. This may be seen from current pc-game benchmarks.
Number of frames/second is very much affected by processor (Amd,P3,P4) and
processor frequency.

One other thing - I don't expect M$ is aiming for Green-PC certificates. A
3D graphics card displaying a static image might consume 5-10W. The real
monsters might go up to 50-70 W or more, when running heavy 3D. That is OK
when you specifically run a 3D game, or a 3D design software. However, I
don't think it's ok if it's just idle-time graphics to get the machine
cooler - epecially since it will make the machine warmer :-)
