Best Amiga Today???

[NicoPPC]

Real Amiga (w/add-ons & extras, but must start w/Amiga MoBo)

I would say the "cutest" one would be:
* A1200 Desktop
* Blizzard PPC 603e 240 + SCSI + 128 Mb (or more)
* BlizzardVision
* Subway USB
* PCMCIA ethernet adaptor
* External SCSI HD & CDRW
* MorphOS

Emulated/Imitated Amiga (list emulator or clone OS and hardware)

for classic Amiga game: WinUAE, or UAE on fast machine
for "Workbench use": Pegasos + MorphOS

Most compatible with all existing software (will run most programs)

Classic game: A500 + ROM 1.3 :-)
Other use prolly: A1200/4000 + 030/040 + CGX card + scan doubler

Fastest Amiga (Emulated or Accellerated?)

with PPC application: Pegasos II G4
for 68k only software: WinUAE on fast x86 may be faster.

The Ultimate Amiga (which of the above is best)

Classic game: A500
Normal use: Pegasos II G4 with replaced fan :-)

Definitely an AmigaOne.

Tss, Pegasos II G4 get smarter CPU (MPC7447 running at 1Ghz), DDR ->
faster :-P

The 800MHz 750GX that's used on the uA1 is a bit of a beast. There's not much in the way of hard figures yet (mostly Quake frame rates) but it seems to be easily quicker than a 1GHz G4.
S

It's an interresting comparaison.
750GX feature 1Mb of L2 cache, while MPC7447 "only" 512Kb.
However, the G4 has Altivec (which can be useful for some stuff) and
(IMO) smarter mem bus usage.

The two CPU core a re prolly way different, it's hard to compare them
only on the "basic" spec (Cache, FSB speed...).

In th end, I think G4 is faster than G3 at same frequency. It would be
nice to make some benchmark between these two.

However, we would need either a µA1 with MPC7447 1Ghz, a 750GX
module for the Pegasos II or maybe on Mac (?)

@Piru

Nevertheless, The MPC 7447 has a little issue compared to the G3:
power.

The MPC7447 disspate much more heat than the G3 (750CXe or GX), then
it needs a fan (or a bigger heatsink)
However, I would be particualry interrested in a MPC7447 1Ghz ->
800Mhz (to remove the fan), or in a newer CPU (MPC7447A, 7447?) at
1Ghz fanless.

We will at least agree that the MPC7447/1Ghz beats the 750CXe/600.
