I LOVE IT!


Welcome to the club! :)

The Mac Mini is very sexy HW! So small and good looking, yet about as powerful as PPC based HW gets! And with MorphOS it is awesome! :D
MorphOS is Amiga done right! :)

Which is better for MorphOS
A Power mac FW800 MDD with dual 1.42 GHz processors
or a 1.5 Ghz Mac Mini?


Want Big box, room for HDD's etc, ability to expand and ability to get top notch CPU card replacements? Then go for the PowerMac!

Want a tiny, sleek and sexy box that has every thing most people would need inside the case, and a CPU that outperforms many of the PPC's out there? Then go for Mac Mini!

Can MorphOS use dual processors?  In theory AmigaOS should, as it is preemptively multitasks.   However I have never seen dual processors implemented in AmigaOS that way.


No it can never get true SMP, has nothing to do with multitasking, but due to certain Amiga design characteristics. Changing this will mean breaking the Amiga.

Does anyone know:  Will MorphOS be supporting g5 processors in version 3.0?

It does effect if one will rather go for a big box mac or a mac mini.


Not in a foreseeable future, that's for sure. Probably never. And if it *will* happen, I guess the prices on G5 machines will have dropped even further by then.

Go for a Mac Mini, PowerMac G4 or why not a PowerBook of the right model instead, keep away from the G5! :)
