Hello, anyone in here?
According to my mental arithmetic, the BP6 will be 20 years old next month.
I think we worked out years ago that it was launched in April 1999.
Happy birthday BP6.

Re: Happy New Year 2015
I'm still around! My BP6 is still going strong. I don't use it much, but I keep it as a Windows 32-bit machine. It may eventually house my TC PowerCore cards, as they are no longer supported but still sound fabulous (you can prise the VSS3 reverb from my cold dead hands). Other things I have been bu...

As it seems the USA now wants the extradition of UK citizens to stand trial in the US for alleged tech crime, I raise my fist and yell "bollocks to SOPA!".

I'm using an Intel Q9650 quad-core unlocked-multiplier CPU in my main machine nowadays. It has a whopping 12MB of L2 cache. Motherboard is an Asus P5QD Turbo with 4GB RAM. Running Windows 7 64-bit. The BP6 is still going strong, but doesn't get much use these days. I rebuilt it last year and may pre...

Hi there Cashran, I loved using BeOS on my BP6. So smooth and snappy, and a lovely simple GUI. I would still be using it as my main OS but for two things: lack of support for modern hardware, and no pro-level digital audio workstation (DAW) apps. I tried to load Haiku Alpha 1 on my BP6 but couldn't ...

I really can't stand Silverlight. In the UK, one of our top TV broadcasters, ITV, uses Silverlight. It's rubbish - agonising pauses and programmes that suddenly stop playing. I go over the border to the Scottish sister-site, STV, where they have much the same content, but Flash is the technology beh...

Hi there coz! I agree with what davd_bob is saying - you should definitely try to overclock the C300s to 450MHz. It's highly likely you could leave the CPU voltage at 2.0V. At this setting. Everything is running in spec apart from the CPUs, and they can take 450MHz pretty easily. If you wanted more ...

I see what you mean, although I disagree slightly - the main thing which BeOS had, and I hope Haiku will have, which raised it above the big-hitter desktop OSes, was its low latency with multimedia. In my work as a sound engineer and music producer, it's a constant struggle to keep latency down. Wit...
