A-EON Technology FAQ Part III

No SMP for X1000 for awhile.  Think I rather buy the SAM460 and save a lot of money.

Funny part is that ACube may have the SAM460 out prior to the "before Summer" X1000.  Seems that it's only 600 EUROs and twice as fast as Sam440 which should put it in the same ball park as X1000 running on a single core for less then half the price!  And I wouldn't be suprised to see AROS running on the SAM460 before OS4 does.   I wish the PPC proponents would get it through their heads to support open source OS on PPC, makes everyone's life straight forward and honest.

Cummon guys, I suppose you've all got someting more important to do than "marching up and down the square!"  Well do you? Do you have some thing so important that it could stop you "marching up and down the square.?"

Just see if I don't

Question really comes to this, without SMP, is it really worth $1000 difference between the X1000 and the SAM460?  I really don't see it and question the need for the X1000s release until SMP is fully worked out.
