Some more useful resources, including a ready-to-go vmware cell dev environment for windows & linux, & streaming lectures by a nice ibm employee.

A VMWare, that's awesome! If someone ever comes a cross a SDK 3.0 one that is publicly available for download, let me know, but in the meantime, this lowered the threshold for me immensely.

Same here too..... installed a few linux distros already... fc7 was running well but now crawls, so not gotten round to installling the ibm sdk.

I assume you can just unistall SDK2.x, then follow the install instructions for 3.0 as per the IBM docs

Looking forwards to playing with those SPU's.
