Anyone used one under OS X? Not interested in boot camping, just curious. Where can I find some MacOS demos?
Thanks

I've got a DK2 but I've not used it for over a year now. If memory serves me correct, I think it was pretty rubbish when running OS X. As for OS X demos? The sites I used to use are all dead now it seems so I can't really help with demo links. Alas, when I used it last it was almost always via Boot Camp.
I knew development had stopped a while back, but even the demos are difficult to track down. Getting the hardware basically for free, so thought I might tinker with it.
Forgot I had an old (circa 2011) SuperMicro server floating around in storage. I installed a couple of upgrades and here's how it sits now:
- quad core xeon (3.1GHz)
- 8GB
- 260GB SSD
- 3TB HDs in RAID 5
- 802.11ac wifi
- sound blaster card
- GTX 1070 founders edition
- Saitek X56 HOTAS
- HTC Vive
- wireless headphones
As the cMP folks can attest, this old thing FLIES. Even on a 4k monitor WoW and other casual games can be run maxed out. And the VR games.... holy cow it's really neat.
Such a shame nMP cannot do this without major fiddling about.
