Comparative between AmigaOS 4.1 and MorphOS 2.3 on Pegasos II

[takemehomegrandma]

@takemahomegrandma

The article states at the end that a G3 A1 performs better at some tests than the Peg2 (using AOS4), shouldn't that be enouph ?

I have not the slightest idea of what the text in the article say, since it for some strange reason is written in an none-English language, that only a fraction of the world can understand. But numbers are numbers anywhere!

That said I think it is a fair comparison if one takes into account what is actually compared

Yes indeed, the released (and sold) versions of OS 4.1 for Pegasos2, and MorphOS 2.3 for Pegasos2.

MorphOS wins.

Well yeah, I supose if features, speed and compatibility are your top criteria, I suppose then Morphos is better.

OS4 is completely run over by MorphOS. A good testemony to the MorphOS developers, and a big congratulations is in place! :-)

MorphOS has more and better features.
MorphOS has better Amiga compatibility.
MorphOS has better performance.

Now, is there a way of comparing overall system stability in general usage?

[Pete_Noir]

So, MorphOS wins! Looks like OS 5 (or whatever) may have some catching up to do

I've yet to try either, heh. But just out of interest, is there a huge difference in performance between OS4 on Pegasos and OS4 on Sam? Has anyone tried both?

Of course! A *huge* difference! At least it should be! Have you even looked at the specs?

A Pegasos2 with a G4 (with both Altivec and L2 cache) @ 1000MHz *runs circles* around any embedded "G2" processor like the AMCC440/MPC5200b. Even the Peg2 G3 might win. The lack of L2 cache will be especially obvious when running older amiga applications. :-)

That's not an answer to the question, though. :hammer:

[NovaCoder]

will there be any updates for the classic amigas?

I would say, probably not

[takemehomegrandma]

That's not an answer to the question, though. :hammer:

No?

Please correct me? :-?

Thanks for posting the url for the translation to English.  Sadly, I don't know French well enough to follow the original article.

@all

Interesting test results.  I think this round goes to MorphOS 2.3.

MorphOS p\/\/n3d OS4.1.     There it is in plain black n white, the numbers dont lie.  Congratulations MorphOS developers, then again, I knew those coders were the best!

[Karlos]

If I had a Peg2, I think I'd be happy enough that I could run both operating systems in the first place. As it stands, I don't think I'll ever see MOS 2.3 on my A1.

[kolla]

No?

Please correct me? :-?

It is obvious that there _should_ be a huge difference between OS4 on peg2 and OS4 on SAM, but the question was if there really _is_ a huge difference. :hammer:

OS4 for the SAM is rated beta, OS4 for the Pegasos is *not* beta. Anyway, someone really surprised by the result of this comparision?

Heh, you caught me  I have to admit I knew very little about the Peg2 specs, but for some reason I had it in my mind that they were a similar speed to the Sam Dunno where I got that from.  

So anyway, yes, that answers my question! It's been quite a long time since I've done anything Amiga-y, so I'm kind of catching up on what's been going on.

[kolla]

So, anyone done a comparison of OS4 on peg2 vs. OS4 on SAM440 yet?

I doubt you ever see any except those ones where SAM is faster than Pegasos 2.

Semi off-topic: Why so many interesting articles are written in german, french and polish language? This is a waste, imho, but it's better than nothing.
 On line translators doesn't give very good results.
