I'm thinking: the type of RAM inside the Peg is of a registered one. Can anyone explain what's the difference between a registered one and unregistered.
Also, is it possible that startup with registered RAM takes more time than with unregistered RAM?
@spidey

Normally all RAM with parity needs to be checked before booting process continues. That is usually 10-30 seconds. All RAM wich has ECC uses parity bits to find glitches in memory flow. If i'm not mistaken, Reg. memory sticks often use ECC as well...

Hey HAK
 Do you have the Hauppage TV Videocard working with Peg? If so how? Does AMITHLON TV work? What about IO Spirit's VHI STUDIO 6?
TIA

Hi ple3003,

So this would mean that starting up with registered RAM takes more time than starting up with unregistered RAM?

Thanks for the info! :-D

@everybody
A lot of people have received their A1's and Peg's. Perhaps a good idea to start a new thread with these people telling their experiences?? :-)

As for WXP booting in 35secs, that's actually quite fast considering all the stuff XP pulls at booting (and Windows in general

(little bit of snipage here n there)

Anyway, ok, I know this aint the place topoint this out but compared to older version of the Windows OS, WinXP's boot times are dramatically faster than before! Using a little tool of M$'s site (bootvis) you can optimise your systems boot time. Afresh install of WiXP with SP1 takes about 34seconds to boot from cold, however after using bootvis a cold boot falls way down to 18 seconds on my system! (running a XP1700, 512mb ram, 2x40Gig RAID drives, 20Gig drive, DVD rom, CDRW)

Ok, sorry to go waaaaayy off topic but I tghought it was worth pointing out - damn good thread though I have got to say! its about time we heard some non-bitching news on the new systems!

Not much of a review sounds like a rush job to get this system out resulting in something which is near to crap at least os4 will be complete and working.If i want an unstable os ill use windows 98. :-D

Lets hope that OS4 will be 100% complete and working the day it arrives (if ever). I agree on that. It remains to be seen though.

MorphOS still has gaps and it's not 100% ready yet, but it's working and it's very much usable in it's current state. New updates comes on a regular basis. Any serious Amiga user will have no problem in filling many of the gaps themselves. I'm speaking out of my own experience. And MorphOS has a big advantage that is *very much* appriciated among us users. Do you know what it is? It's *here now*! :-)
MorphOS is Amiga done right! :)

@magnetic,

>Do you have the Hauppage TV Videocard working with Peg?
>If so how?

I have both of my Videocards working with Visionary ATM.
However to use it I'll have to switch to the Voodoo3 (as this one
supports Overlay).


>Does AMITHLON TV work? What about IO Spirit's VHI Studio 6.

Sorry, no luck here.
The latest versions of Amithlon TV don't freeze or crash anymore, but
unfortunately, I also don't get a picture/sound either (only tested it
with the TV-in of the Hauppage).

Even less luck with VHI Studio (this one doesn't even recognize the
card at all).


Bye HAK
