What would make a good AROS-1?

[bloodline]

The Best AROS-1 would be one of the Athlon64 Motherboards with integrated Gfx, Audio and networking... that we would know what hardware we are targetting and be able to develop drivers for it.

MY first thought would be one of the amasingly cheap Via Mini-ITX boards, but I would prefer to go 64bit now :-)

I have a Mini-ITX for AROS... runs great, Hard drive is noisey though  :-)

What is the reason for Athlon64?

I would say: Go for an ITX board with a FANLESS VIA cpu. There is nothing more disturbing thans noisy fans.

Athlon64, simply because that is the Leading edge and AROS can run on Athlon64 machines now :-)

I don't care what hardware it is or how much it costs. Just make sure that people are only allowed to buy it (to run AROS on) if it's sold under a licensed AROS-1 trademark. That's the road to success!

Funny you should say that, as I have some Branded AROS-1 motherboards here! They are old PentiumIII boards and come with 800Mhz CPU (No Gfx card or sound), and you can have one for only £900  :-o  Hurry, because I expect them to sell like hot cakes ;-)

I am serious, by the way. :-P

-Edit- The £794 profit will be donated to the AROS Dev team.

 Running AROS on the Mini-ITX offers no real advantage over a Pegaos or A1.

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

:roflmao:

oh, I don't know that voxel demos can be quite cpu intensive... I'm sure the CPU is idling at 94% :-D

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

Heh, you got me there.  Think I need to do a poll for this...

Dammy

Well don't forget to include the ZX81

Not working for you?

Poll seems to be working fine (Probably best to start a new thread about it)... I can't decide what to vote for :-(
