This would be awesome! Hopefully I can get back to work and make a donation.

YAY. I'm so glad they will do g5 support. I will definitely register morphos if/when the g5 support is working.

g5 will definitely benchmark much faster than amigaone x1000...

 I don't understand the importance of bench marks between next gen Amiga OS's at this point when there are no killer apps available that depend upon machines with such high resources.

Well X, now I will be able to play back 1080p video. Before I was limited to 720p.
And there's always a use for more power.
What we'll need next are better video cards.
But then, we should have R300 3D drivers soon, and we may even get support for more powerful cards then that.



There's a valid point I suppose, though I can't validate purchasing an X1000 at this point just to play Blue Ray quality video on my computer screen. Not that I have any money as it is, but you know...

it's somewhere on their website, but basically, it'd make bad impressions of the OS, if people ran it on less than a G4.



That it would. Granted, a G3 system running classic apps exclusively would be a wonderful ride with MorphOS, heck many MorphOS native apps would still run well, but once you got into web browsing, higher end games and this and that, it would certainly leave a bad taste in one's mouth, at least in this day and age.

 Personally, I think I'd rather go with an Efika with a nice Graphics card with plenty of RAM on it, before I went as low as something like an iMac. My eMac was a nightmare within itself!

Wasnt there issues with the built-in monitor for the emac not being that great? And thats before factoring in a 10 year old CRT lifespan..


Yep, aside of only having 32Mb of Video RAM, the monitors began to get darker over time and display less sharp. I had gutted mine and hooked it up to an LCD flat screen, but still, with only 32Mb Video RAM I was limited in what all I could do.
