@eliyahu Much appreciated, i can see people are stating using 4.1FE in WinUAE isnt giving it much justice and i dont think in the forseeable future i'm going to have in the budget an A2000 or the orginal Amiga i had when i was a kid (A500+the GVP A530) + an PPC Accelerator card for either model, so i'm not sure for what i even want to Try out 4.1 that i can Justify 38 $ on what would become Sitting on a shelf for quite a few years before i can afford a Usable Amiga w/ an PPC Accelerator card.
or maybe i should just bite the bullet and count it as "one step at a time" and get it for when i Do have everything together :confused:
I think it's worth the cost if you're curious about the OS. It's not a lot of money. I too bought it as a "small" step toward getting back into Amigas. A couple of points
-OS 4.1 probably runs better under emulation on a powerful PC than it does on classic Amigas. With the new UAE devices, you can get full HD resolutions which were not possible with typical Amiga video cards. You're limited due to a lack of RAM (~256 MB) and 3D capabilities, but that would be true for most real Amiga setups too.
-If you want to utilize OS 4.1 fully (visit modern websites, run powerful software, 3D acceleration), you're probably going to have to look into the X5000. Possibly the A1222, but that depends on how it will perform. Classic PPC Amigas are nearly 20 years old at this point, so there are limitations.
-AmigaOS 4.1 and PPC might not at all be the way for you. Many swear by their OS 3.x and 68k setups. This would be a lot cheaper, and it would be more like the Amiga you used and loved back in the day. OS 4.1 is more of a modern take on the Amiga, and as I said before, it works best on modern ("next-gen") hardware.
-MorphOS and AROS are alternatives. MorphOS runs on dirt-cheap PPC Mac systems, and AROS can run natively on a cheap x86 PC, provided you pick the components carefully (hardware support is very limited). Most software is available across all 3 platforms.
