Chrome OS Flex is perfect for an old Mac that can’t properly run Big Sur or Monterey that you want to give to a child or elderly parent. Google CEO Sundar Pichai tweeted that it brings “the same speed, security and simplicity of Chrome OS to existing hardware,” and it sounds like an amazing solution.
With Chrome OS Flex and iCloud, your old Mac can become a powerful device again. Google says Chrome OS Flex can be installed in “a few minutes” and has been tested on Macs as early as the 2009 MacBook, though basically, any relatively recent model will work as long as the Mac has a working Internet connection. As such, Chrome OS Flex only needs 4 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage, so any old Mac will do. Chrome is designed to be a speedy cloud-based OS that won’t get bogged down with log and cache files. Sure you can get Core i7 Chromebooks with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, but high-end specs are largely unnecessary.
And Google wants to squeeze every last bit out of them.Ĭhrome OS has never cared about specs in the way Macs and PCs do. They’re slow and clunky with not enough space or memory but still have some life left in them. Rather, it’s for the thousands of Macs and PCs collecting dust on shelves and tucked away into drawers that haven’t been turned on or updated in years. Chrome OS Flex isn’t made for the performance of today’s Apple silicon Macs. The GeForce cards do not support OpenGL stereo, they only support DirectX and 3D BlueRay stereo.It sounds crazy but it’s not. PyMOL does not work in 3D on GeForce cards. These glasses require power either through batteries or a cable. The refreshing of the glasses actively filters the display creating a 3D experience. The screen refreshes at 120Hz in coordination with the glasses. NVidia's 3D Stereo NVision solution uses "active glasses".

Most modern openGL capable video cards from NVidia, ATI and Intel can handle the task. The Zalman is a robust and low-cost solution for 3D stereoscopic viewing. The Zalman solution uses "passive glasses." The monitor and software coordinate to interlace the display, which the glasses filter to create a 3D experience.
