And a modern Intel/AMD-System runs cycle around your X5000 at a fraction of cost. Now what? Let Gunnar have his fun there.
Seriously? I'm thrilled that Gunnar pulled this thing off.
I worked for several years for a firm that sold 68K based systems.
And its going to completely flatten any other 68K based upgrades.
For that matter, if you were comparing the Vampire to a 200-300 MHz PPC (like those on a Amiga accelerator) it might very well win.
BTW - My X64 system is faster than yours. :laugh1:
But I still like the PPC based stuff.
My over 10 year old 2.5 GHz Quad core G5 PowerMac runs Ubuntu Mate with about the same performance as my Core2 Quad (which in itself is much faster than my i7 laptop).
Its all up to what you value.
My only real problem the Gun is that we were discussing a cross platform game a few years ago, now I regularly get to hear these silly comments "we though about PPC...".
No you didn't because an FPGA based PPC would really suck compared to the real thing.
