The client on average is only taking a quarter to a third of my CPU for me on PowerPC 1.4GHz.

Actually, that's on my 1.4ghz Power Mac G4, running Leopard. I think it takes more work than UT2004 does. It's not as hard on the gfx card, but I think it's harder on the cpu. The hard drive heats up a bit more with graal than UT2004. The cpu was using maybe 2/3. Other things run fine, and I can still open a lot of applications and windows, but it goes between 1/3 and 2/3 cpu usage. It's not a big deal, ad it's not like I can't do 100 other things on the computer while it's running graal, I was just wondering why it seems to run using a lot of the cpu.

Also why is your GraalOnline icon in your task manager the same as Vendetta Online's application icon?

No idea, it's always been like that. I think my java applications also took on the graal icon. It's just the icon in iStat that's messed up, so I don't mind. I think I mentioned that here before.

No offense, but I'll believe it when I see it.

I'm really looking forward to it though (for the past 2 years).
