22:49 Awesome G5-machine for MorphOS! Nice to see that Encore's demos work on the computer without any problems and additional actions. I use PowerBookG4 for development and test these demos, engine and game (work in progress). My goal was create framework (called engine) which use clean MorphOS without any additional software/libraries. Demos/games should work in multitasking, use 3D accelerator and always allow to switch between screen and window. Best regards, MDW/Encore

Interesting and entertaining. Regarding root canals, got my first last year and as long as there's plenty of pain killers, (drugs) it was totally fine. The tooth is still working fine too. So yeah, I'm not in search of more root canals but I think with a good mouth surgeon crew, sure, victory goes to modern medicine with us as benefactors. Now, universal health care ........ oh yeah, Mericka. I've watch a few videos that touch on Morph OS, and yeah, a great next step would be to get something called 'Any OS' and on the fly like Morph OS seems to be doing. I'm thinking of using the Ventoy or some Virtual boot box setup on an older win box I've got around here. Not necessarily switchable on the fly but better than getting locked up in one of the main eco-systems. 🔐I think it's referred to as lock-in. I'll watch as software like morph os develops. Thanks for the entertaining vids! Like the jokes and innuendos all over the place. :-)

I had a pegasus II board running an earlier version of morph os on it, and really liked it. Sold it a good few years ago and wish I had hung onto it now, since newer PPC boards and macs are so much more expensive now. Same goes for the expanded A4000CR I had. I was getting a bit overrun with everything I had and needed to declutter though.

Kind of redundant to run MorphOS on a 64-bit G5 as it is a 32-bit operating system: it’s not going to take advantage of all the registers. Next, the maximum RAM MorphOS can “see” is 1.7GB so anything else is a waste (for MorphOS at least, Linux and Mac OS X will utilise it fine!) I run MorphOS on a PowerBook G4 15” Aluminium with a 256 GB SSD and 2 GB RAM.

Should work the same afterwards except no power over the video connector as in the genuine Mac compliant ones.

Why the title of best PowerMac G5? I have a 2.7GHz dual G5 model, and the last PowerPC model, which is the quad core 2.5GHz G5, which I would say both are better than the model you received. Mine need the coolant systems refurbished, with new "O'-rings", before I try to use them again, as I don't want to risk coolant failure and damage to the PSU's which were stupidly located at the bottom of the case.
