Title: Commel ITX P4 2+GHz inside Amiga
Post by: asian1 on July 28, 2003, 05:36:56 PM

Hello
Commel (Taiwan) had announced their new mini ITX
Pentium 4 board (170 x 170 mm) with CPU speed of
of 2+ GHz.

Is it possible to upgrade Classic Amiga using
this board and Amithlon or Linux UAE? What about
the speed/price comparison with AmigaOne/Pegasos?
What about heat/thermal problem?
Unfortunately Commel is related to Taiwan Comate,
a company that manufacture the only Baby AT P4
with bad quality (re-boot, bios, windows problem).
Is the quality of Commel as bad as Comate?

No.... but I guess you mean to replace it and not to upgrade it and sure why not but trying to compare it with AmigaOne or Pegasos would be wrong since you would be stuck with OS 3.9. Amithlon and UAE gives you a way to run your old Amiga 68k stuff on new hardware but its no road to the future.
