| 1 ) What benifit would I get from moving to a newer MinGW (5.x I assume)? 2 ) Apart from MaxGui, what else would be crippled? 3 ) Is the next update going to be 5.x built anyway, if so should I just wait? 4 ) When ppl say things like "5.x" has optimisation for P3, does that mean that it builds faster? or that the code would be faster on a Piii? |

| 1) With BlitzMax, not much aside from improved compile times, as it will still use its own version of the runtime. 2) Depends on what else can be crippled. 3) I haven't seen any signs of BRL updating their MinGW build, as they acknowledged long ago that they ought to but never changed a thing. 4) You'd have to ask them, because apparently some people don't like to explain what they mean. 5) The goggles, they do nothing. |

| 2) No, just MaxGUI. |

| 1 ) What benifit would I get from moving to a newer MinGW (5.x I assume)? Improved rounding on maths, and a little improvement on calculations using, after a full medules rebuild. But remember this is not officialy suported |

| "little improvement" is quite nice told to what happens if you change BMK as well to compile for P3 level cpu (SSE2) instead of Pentium 1 which BM does ... The difference is more than only a few percents. |

| Yes I forgot to mention that one, but remember all this modifications are not officialy suported, so if then anything stops working... |

| "little improvement" is quite nice told to what happens if you change BMK as well to compile for P3 level cpu (SSE2) instead of Pentium 1 which BM does ... I thought this change was already made. Haven't been using BMK myself, so I'm not exactly up to date on what flags are even being passed to GCC. |
