X3 rocks
Authored by: clmensch on Dec 17, '01 07:51:16PM

I've been using X3 for a few weeks now. It's awesome. Sure, it's eye candy, but it does provide me with useful information concerning CPU cycles. However, it does use a nice chunk of the processor...the best I could optimize it while not using wireframe models was ~10% on my TiBook 550/1gb. However, OSX is good about relinquishing control to other processes, so it only really affects my performance when doing more intensive tasks like ripping mp3's in iTunes or playing large quicktime movies...and even then it's hardly noticeable.

I don't, however, recommend using it with Virtual PC. ;-)
