Don't see why everybody seems so keen on running AROS on big irons.

AROS should concentrate on what made the Amiga the Amiga, back in those days.

"Power without the price" was the motto, not brute force with the elegance of
a 40t-truck (and even the noise level ....). My personal experience is that I the times
where I would allways need more grunt has ended 2 years ago with buying the
AthlonXP1600, and that is running Linux  :-o

A(R)OS is neat and clean and should therefore do more than o.k. with one of the
VIA-mini-ITXs. The 1GHz does need a small fan, but that shouldn't be a to big prob,
and it will surely deliever more than enough speed for any SW that AROS will get in
the coming years. Write a native/accelareted GFX-driver for it, put in in a really small case....
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

Being cheaper and smaller is one big advantage..

But Running AROS on an Athln64 has an obvious advantage!


And that would be ? The fact that the CPU is now iddling at 95 instead of 80% ? :-P

@dammy

Well it was you, who asked for ideas about an "AROS-Ohne".
