Cool, Is that the fastest NG AmigaOS machine currently available?

I just picked up a Power Mac G4 (Digital Audio) with dual 1.8Ghz processor, 1.5GB RAM, ATI Radeon 9800 and DVDRW for $100.00 flat, local pickup. This is almost perfect for today's supported hardware, with the exception of the Radeon 9800 not having 3D support yet.

I wonder how long until the 9800 is supported for 3D? Time for setup, great stuff! Might be registering MOS today, which I did not do with the eMac...

Wow! I could I forget about AROS?. I wasn't thinking!

I actually had AROS broadway running on my 3ghz Core Duo Dell with 8GB of ram for a little while. It was damn fast!. I eventually had to install Win 7 on the machine to do some work with After Effects. I'm sure I'll have another go at AROS again.

redrumloa, wow, I'm so envious of your new MorphOS machine, well done!

spihunter, while this is probably the fastest MorphOS system around, the fastest NG Amiga OS machine would be a PC running Aros.

Here is mine:

Dual 800mhz G4, 1.5GB of Ram, Superdrive, Radeon 9000 and a 23" cinema display!
I got it all for free! Saved it from the trash at work.

Thanks!:afro:
I'd guess it is the fastest binary compatible NG AmigaOS variant, by processor speed at least.
