As the title says, what CPU is your MAIN Amiga running on ?
-
ACA 030/56. Does everything I need out of it. Id love an 060 some day, but I dont really want to cough up several hundred bucks for it.
-
My A2000, A3000 and A4000 have 68040s, while my A1200T gets by on a 28MHz 68020.
Mind you, my Minimig v1.1 does quite well with a 52.5MHz 68000.
-
Currently a 68ec030 @ 40mhz which Im hoping to eventually upgrade to either an 040 or 060 in the future.
-
My A1200 has a 68060 blizzard 1260/50. The rest of my miggies are stock
-
To be honest, nowadays my Amiga runs on a Core2Duo :)

Burn him! :lol:
I have various Amigas. They all get still some attention, so I'm not sure which one I'd call "main".

How can u put a price on true love? :D
-
My Natami system runs a Rev. 6 68060 at the moment, so I went with that :)
-
7447a at 1.5GHz (Mac mini)
Soon (?) to be 7447a at 1.67GHz (Powerbook). Hopefully. Any time now.

As the title says, what CPU is your MAIN Amiga running on ?
Both of my Amigas are 50MHZ
Minimig 1.1 : 68000 50mhz (68HC000)
A1200 : 68060 50mhz
-
Blizzard 1260, 50Mhz, 256MB RAM here.
Tho, the WarpEngine 4040 on my 4000 is pretty neat too...
-
My 600 has a 68030 at 25Mhz and my 1200 just has the stock processor in it.
-
7447a at 1.5GHz (Mac mini)
The thread is about Amiga computers, not Macs :rolleyes:
-
Amiga 1200 Rev 1D4 with a DCE Blizzard 1240/40MHz and 192MB RAM here.
-
A2000 with PPS '040, 32Mb RAM, 3.1 OS. Also have a 68K fired A1000 - hard to say which is my "main" computer, although it may be the Core 2 Duo ....
-
My Natami system runs a Rev. 6 68060 at the moment, so I went with that :)
I'm curious. What clock speed?
-

I'm in the same boat.... but cheaper. ;-) It's UAE on an Athlon XP. But the 'real' Amiga it's based on is a 2000 with a GVP 030 board.

Obviously you didn't read the poll options. PPC Mac is an option in the very poll that started the thread. ;)

Well that was inevitable.
You all know my preference (although I'd be tempted by a 1200 or 4000 if I found one with an accelerator at a good price).
-
Macintosh PPC (MorphOS etc..) is one of the options on this poll.
PPC (Sam440. AmigaONE etc.) is another option on this poll.
Please accept the fact that some of us actually use these systems and have responded to the poll.
IMHO, there are some other choices missing from this poll.
-
I'm curious. What clock speed?
My Natami with a ceramic Rev. 6 68060RC runs at 100MHz currently. The guys in the team with the new SMD 68060FE run it at 110MHz, but it has been running up to 120MHz in an experimental setup. We figure that it might be able to do 133 MHz, as the chip marking suggests.
-
Well that was inevitable.
Of course. Why even list Macintosh computers in a poll about Amiga computers? Same can be said for things like the SAM. It seems that some people don't know what Amiga computers are.
-
Voted 68000, since I only have an unexpanded Amiga 500 atm. About what's Amiga and not...sure there are computers that do capture some of the Amiga feeling, but to call it Amiga it has to be an Amiga. Otherwise it's just a computer with some Amiga feel.
I would call a Natami still a Natami, although I'd love to buy one asap. :)
...and yea, a CUSA Amiga is still an Amiga, despite it doesn't run Amiga OS natively. Call it crippled?
-
At the time of this post it would seem the 030 and 060 are running equal. :)

Yes i noticed that. Either there are a lot of 060 users or else a lot of users with 00 or 020 cpu's who can't be bothered to answer.
-

Personally i agree with you. In my opinion the only real Amiga's are the A1000,A500/+,A600,A2000/2500/1500,A3000/T,A4000/T,A1200,CD32 and technically the CDTV.
I personally think the SAM is a total rip off and is not an Amiga, just an over priced PPC motherboard that can run OS4.X. And MorphOS machines are G4 Macs supposed to run Mac OS, but there are lots of people who use these systems as their main "Amiga". Others use X86 PC's and use emulation etc.. Me, i do have a G4 Mac with MorphOS (registered) but i have no interest at all in the OS and never use it.
-
68040@40mhz for my a1200, g4@1.5ghz for my mos machine, core2duo@3.86ghz for my amithlon box and core2duo@4.05ghz for my aros box.
As for the people who are incapable of understanding this, the poll defines "amiga" as the generic term it has become (ala unix) as opposed to the brand name (although use of capital "A" was a bad choice probably). Any person with half an iota of intellect (and who's not obsessed with semantics) can see this.
Remove all users who are using mos, os4, x86 aros, ppc aros, arm aros, uae, amithlon, natami, minimig, fpga arcade, etc, etc. and suddenly we lose the majority of both our users and developers. Do you really think this is worth it for the case of ridiculous semantics? I too have my prefered amiga based system, but it's never inspired me to play the "Master Of The Bloody Obvious" so much (ie. I never feel the urge to point of the manufacturer of a particular persons "amiga").
-
I have my aca 1230 @ 28mhz 64mb ram and I couldn't be happier (well yes I could if I had the 56mhz version)
Will watch with interest to see how the 1231 fares, am sure it will sell out in hours when it is released in the next month or two. I think it should be limited to one per person for the first few days of sales to give everyone a fair chance of acquiring one. I get the impression there are some who buy multiple units and then sell them off gradually over the following months at inflated prices thereby fleecing the amiga community + defeating the ethos of jens pricing structure. I expect we know who they are.
Back to the topic at hand, does an 060 confer much benefit to web browsing or is this more a limitation of ram than mhz?
-

Ahhh I wanted one of those (56Mhz) or even better a Blizzy 1230MKIV and somehow i ended up getting a Blizz 1260 :O
-

I don't web browse with the Amiga though i did when i had my A4000T. The 060 should help quite a lot i imagine though i stand to be corrected.
Back when i had my A4KT which had a CSII 060/50 the huge difference including for web browsing came when i equipped it with a Picasso IV. The high screen resolution, 24bit 16 million colors and super fast graphics made using a 68K Amiga amazing.
-
Yes dougal, you got an 060 and then started this poll :roflmao:
Have you tried going online with it yet?
I thought you were going to send it to me so I could conduct some (longterm) tests :)

Maybe its just me but I would take an aca 1230 @ 56 over a blizzard iv any day!

I use Morphos on a G4 Macmini at 1.42GHZ.

I have not tried going online yet but i might do this week.
Haha i did :) Got curious how many others have 060 amigas.
I would send it to you for tests but i accidentally glued it to my a1200 and then glued the trap door cover shut and then nailed the a1200 to the table. LOL!!
-

Well the aca 1230/56 does have a higher clock than the blizzard 1230iv and i guess it is slightly faster. Maybe its just nostalgia since in the past i've had 2 blizzard 1230iv and regretted selling them.

Sorry, but while in this poll I can see an option for Mac things, I can't find any entry either for "Atom" or "Athlon64 X2" which are the processors I use on my dedicated AROS boxes, or at least for "x86" family which would cover all - and not only for AROS, but for UAE too.
-
Blizzard 68060 here! With 32 Mb Fast Ram.

I tried to edit the poll to add them but can't.

Blizzard 1260/scsi with 144 megabytes ram.
But I am hoping to find a "cheap" 040/060 card for my amiga 2000
-
Sam 440, but also Sam 460......

And this poll seems to prove that people with 060's are more likely to answer these type of polls..

Anyways, my main Amiga is my Amiga 500, I do have an A1200 as well, but as a puritan I prefer my beloved jewel of the Amiga heydays. :)

i want one!

I just finished restoring a nice 2500 Video Toaster system. It had a bad accelerator card, I had posted about it a few weeks ago. I was able to find the original 2630 accelerator card that came with the 2500 and put that back in, replaced a bad hard drive and put in a new battery. It's a 68030 system now. I have to rebuild the entire hard drive, and frankly figure out *how* to use a Video Toaster system!
I also have another 33mhz 2000, not sure what processor that would be, and a stock 7mhz 2000.
-
Looking at the poll suggests that PPC A4.x is about 3 times more popular than Morphos. Surely this cannot be accurate. Is it because Amiga.org is biased to the reds? Is it because it really is that popular? Or is it just because Morphos users can't be bothered voting? :confused:
PS - this is the first time i have used the Elvis smiley :elvis: and what a smiley it is!
-
Have quite a few Amigas, hard to say which of them is the main but luckily the contendors all have 060. :D
-
@Kesa
The options are pretty messed up. The poll is asking "which CPU", but lumps a lot of different PPC together by machine/os type (but then misses out non-mac morphos systems like the pegasos, efika etc). Finally there's no options at all for x86/x64.
A better set of options might have been something like this
68000 / 010
68020 / EC020
68030 / EC030
68040 / EC040
68060 / EC060
603 / 604
G3 / G4
Other PPC (440, etc)
x86 / x64
Other (ARM, etc)

OS4 on a classic Amiga with a PPC accelerator is surprisingly compatible with older software (remember, more of the hardware banging works).
Besides, Amiga users are into pain (the prices that hardware commands vs its performance IS quite painful).

I don't think I have an Amiga in one piece anymore!

Right now my A3000D is ooc since I towered it. I couldn't figure out how to strap the cd-rom drive for address 4 on the SCSI so I wasn't able to install the drivers for the Mediator PCI/Zorro III bus and I think I blew out the diskette drive. If I can get it all back up I am thinking of upgrading it to a 040@50MHz and 512MB of RAM. I think this will get me to where I need to be for right now. I've been keeping track of the X1000 and, yes, I know, it's a bit expensive, but common guys, most of you are software hackers and don't really understand the hardware end.
One of the primary lessons to learn about hardware is it is very difficult to port an operating system to a completely open architecture which you have with the WinTel universe...actually, there is little unity in that diversity. As an example, right now I'm slumming on an HP Pavillion I bought in 2005...ok, here's the deal. I went about 20 years with undiagnosed hypothyroidism and I got lost in the brain fog. I understand hardware. I'm a retired U.S. Navy Electronics Technician. I had to design, build, and program (in assembly) a microcontroller for a college course based on the 6800, which is much easier to program at the assembly language level than a X86. But to be able to program it in assembly I had to do what is called memory mapping. It's how the microprocessor addresses different functions like memory, I/O, etc. The bottom or top memory addressed is hardwired into to processor and this is where first instruction of your bootstrap program is located. From there anything can be changed,
Now back to my HP, well, it doesn't run a plain vanilla version of Windows XP, because that wouldn't run. That is where the OEM licenses come into place because HP reconfigures Windows to be able to run on it's machines and it won't run on say, a Dell computer or even on a different HP computer. I tried to install Linux onto it but it was just to complicated to find all the drivers so it would work on my HP. This is the problem boys. IF the AmigaOS gets ported to an Intel Processor the most successful and cost efficient means is to design the OS to run on a particular Intel computer. Apple did this; they redesigned their own Intel based computer system that they control and they could redesign their OS around. To port AmigaOS to run on any WinTel platform, and that is what most of you gents have been talking about, is a monumental task that a small company like Hyperion just can't accomplish and actually a not so small of a company like Microsoft won't.
Now remember guys, that it's the WinTel manufactures, whether it be HP, Dell, ect, that reconfigures Windows to run on their machines. Unless they follow the strict guidelines that Microsoft controls (memory map), which most of the major manufactures always deviate from to create custom hardware. So, you see the problem in porting the AmigaOS to every WinTel system out there. There are just too many variables. Now it's possible to port it to a standardized mother board that will run plain vanilla Windows from Microsoft, that is the only goal that would make sense.
And that is my two cents.
This is the same reason AmigaOS 4.x has to be configured to run on different AmigaOne platforms. That is what the whole deal is with the beta testing on the X1000 is all about; to see if there are any bugs in the OS specifically on the X1000.

My A1200 has a 50 MHz 68030. My A500 has a 40 MHz 68030. My A2500 has a 25 MHz 68030 with a 25 MHz FPU. I also have a AROS machine running on a 3.4 GHz P4 and a Amithlon machine running on a 1 GHz PIII, as well as a WinUAE (AmigaForever) running on my Windows 7 machine with a 2.6 GHz Core2 Quad processor.
-
As the title says, what CPU is your MAIN Amiga running on ?
If this poll is going to include OS4 and MorphOS then it should also include AROS and emulators.
-
68030 @40mhz not real fast but good enough for most things. the extra 32meg of fastram also helps out with a FPU.
-
If this poll is going to include OS4 and MorphOS then it should also include AROS and emulators.
Is there a way to run AROS on my A4000T ?
I know that there is an old version of Morphos for A4000T but I never could run it without problems.

Speak for yourself. It's not about performance, it's about the machines themselves, although what stuff like SAMs cost IS painful ;)

Perhaps some people saw "What CPU is your Amiga running on?" and decided not to respond to the poll. I only responded because I noticed the last two choices and thought "Might as well throw in my 2 cents".
I agree with Karlos,
