MorphOS on Power Mac G5
« on: July 25, 2010, 08:15:05 PM »
http://bigfoot.morphos-team.net/test/powermacg5_showconfig.jpeg - only a day late, but oh well :)


And as always, questions about availability and offers for beta testing will likely be quite pointless at this time. :)

This is GREAT news! I no longer have a PowerMac G5, but I bet the iMac G5 support won't be too far along.

Kinda strange to hear they jumped over the iMac though in favor of PowerMac's based on the previous incarnations. Hmmm. Oh well. If/when iMac support becomes a reality, might just give me the excuse to turn my main computer into a MorphOS machine and purchase a shiny new 24" or 27" iMac  :)

Just can't have a single thread about this crap can we ?
 
Nobody is coming in to all the Morph OS threads and crapping over it, because it can't run dual core or whatever. Just appreciate each piece of technology for what it is, on its own.

What's this all about? Why can't I be happy for MorphOS getting support for the fastest PPC computer build for consumers?

You can be happy. It's just that your post does not in expresses joy over what MOS achieved but joy that AOS4 failed in your opinion.

So you just come across as a AOS4 hater instead of a MOS fan. Haters are sad people IMHO.

Well my SAM440ep flex should arrive next week, but I'm still happy for MorphOS.

Ok I'll take you on on that one. Lets say for 1,000,000 Euro ?


Well maybe I should tell you that all iMacs feature NVidia-GFX chips, and that sofar noone in the MorphOS-team has shown real interest in those ;)

1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Many iMacs use nvidia gfx chips. an yet MorphOS is lacking drivers for nvidia. I am hoping (and kind of suggested that yesterday to Frank and/or Jacek) to maybe do a bit more cooperation with the AROS project and and maybe participate on the latest nvidia AROS drivers. I think AROS and MorphOS could in parts profit from each other if a few resources (a *few*. Am really not suggesting to make AROS MorphOS and vice versa) were shared.

Anyway the G5 thing is a hammer! But myself I am looking very forward to the Powerbook version first - I hope it'll make it for X-mas.

Bill Gates former partner, Paul Allen is in Helsinki on his 120 meter yacht,
look him up, demo the latest Morphos, you never know, he did much thinking outside the box after leaving the dark empire. Its worth a shot.

Congratulations on the progress. It is nice to see 2700 mhz in a config photo,
instead of 25mhz!
Cheers

The yacht was here the 15th, and it left the same day. Not that it makes any difference...

Very nice, so maybe I should go looking for a G5 Powermac now that I canceled my eMac for a Powerbook j/k :)

But anyways..  the G5 system, are we talking about that shiny alu tower that uses 5-600 watt?
