In response to the question about the video performance, I am afraid that even when one solves the monitor problem - obtains a sharp image on the monitor - one will still be left with unaccelerated video. People differ in their response to this - many don't find it that objectionable. I do, unfortunately.
Moving windows around (particularly Firefox windows, for some reason) results in very very jerky motion with lots of artifacts like window outlines appearing momentarily. This is extremely displeasing to me - it is almost as bad as fuzzy video. The contrast between the PS3 and my powerbook on the adjacent table is shocking. My approach will be to use the powerbook as the front end using ssh or Xwindows and do Cell programing. The PS3 video for me will always be somewhat unpleasant (until they - or someone else - gives us video acceleration, a not very likely prospect). -wn On Jan 9, 2007, at 8:44 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > John, > >> I have been reading quite a few postings about video performance from >> the PS3 that is not very impressive.
