Pegasos to go on sale Monday / Pegasos II to ship September 2003

Ami603:  I agree.  re: " 600 MHz PowerPC G3 750 CXe upto Dual PowerPC G4 MPC 7450  " on pegasosppc.com, on vesalia, on KDH ...  May I now say "false marketing"?

A lot of talk down the toilet, anyway.

(But for the fanatics that most likely will be pure good news anyway...)

((when they finally clear the disinformation from their web site, I hope this is also removed: "OS : once the computer starts it can run Linux or the Amiga OS on top of the kernel. "))

Trying to get some sanity in this .... there must have appeared a new Northbridge to build pegasos2.

Or Genesi is developing their own (and the MAI relationship has ended).

...

Amiga fanatic could say that when the AOS4 release and especially the A1G4XE release is approaching, this pegasos2 announcement is meant to hold the buyers for Genesi.

And MOS fanatics counter comment would be "isn't that what Amiga and Eyetech did" and they are right (too).


Well... time will tell.

@JoannaK
Here's some discussion about it.

( .... ooops...snip ... there might still be NDA on that ...)

btw. Is the G3 peg1 as overclocable as A1SE?
733Mhz via dip switches... or better?


( A  little bit relevant, and this should be interesting to read for both peg and A1 fans: Powerlogix's PDF, information about DDR and SDR & L3 cache)

@zacman
"If interested to purchase a Pegasos mainboard... When these are sold there will not be another release until August/September 2003. "

I think it means what it says.

Is there any news about G4 CPU that can fully use DDR system memory bandwidth?

@Senex
"it appears from the various websites
and MLs that the Articia-S is still too buggy to let the G4 perform optimally. "

All I have seen so far is that the A1G4XE beats 2.4Ghz P4...  ;-)   Yes there is a smiley.

Can you provide any link to reveal how badly the G4 performs on the A1?

ahh.. I notised at the end of your post that you did not yet have one.
