Why is ppc so bad and why r people like u so obbsesed with mhz.  My old 030/50 could do things that my P200 mmx could just about do.

U cant rate a processor just on speed.  The 060 is.was a much better chip than a x86 will ever be.

And with the 68k code being run natively on a ppc we can expect at least 300mhz 060.  I would like to see a x86 300mhz even touch a 300 mhz 060

The dsign of 68k and ppc is of a much better qualty than the bug riden intel chips.

u people stop harping on about how dead amiga is and how we will never get anywhere again.

If u want an x86 AOS just wait for OS5.

Indeed the main advantage of amiga is the OS, but the SO wouldnt be what it is today if it wasn't for the HW.

What is the point of having a cpu that can run at 2ghz, when everything else on the mobo, i.e the data bus, the ram, the pci slots, basically everythign else, cant run at anywhere near that speed?

Greta the cpu can process all that data so quickly and then has got nowhere to put it.

The main point is, Amiga make the best OS in the world (IMHO) and most of the ap[plication software and games have always pushed the HW to the limit and done some amazing stuff.

If Amiga brought this to the x86 market, would they be helpling themsleves , no, would they be able to rake on micro$oft, er no.

So basically if u want a proper OS that is bloatfree and runs fast, u have to but Amiga Hardware.

Whats the problem. Do u want to be able to run windoze on a mac/amiga/ps2, er no again .

So should people stop making IBM clones and say, right windowz wil lrun on anyhting.   :-?  :-?  :-?  :-?  :-?  :-?  :-?  :-?  :-?  :-?  :-?  :-?  :-?

I cant wait(if hyperion sort it out, or dce stop being knobs), to have os4 on my blizzard, how fast will that be.  even thrr 68k code the reckon will run at least at 060/66, sweet.  Move over windoze your days r numbered, wait unti lthe world wakes up and realises what an OS should do and be about, instead of being force fed micro$soft $#@!.

Amiga is back, look out bad software, were coming to get u.

everybody is entitled to their opnion, but if x86 is soo goo, go and harp on about on site where somebody actually wants to listen to what u have got to say, we r happy, leave us alone.  We dont go on pee cee sites telling them , that their HW is based on technology that was around in the late 70's.  

Amiga is back and it is here to stay, and PPC is the way to go, why would we want to use bug ridden old hat x86 processors.
