Actually in the UK the Pegasos seems to have a higher hardware spec.
The cost for me doesn't really matter, it's the longevity of the hardware.
MOS, however, do tend to be ignoring one major fact. When it comes to 3D hardware Nvidea rules the roost, at least in the UK, but no drivers! No support for this hardware.
I just don't feel 100% that MOS is the way to go. I'm not 100% convinced that AOS4.0 will be delivered and trust me, I have been waiting many many years. I'm not totally convinced that Eyetech will maintain it's alegence to AOS4.0. It has found other markets to support it's hardware and Pegasos does seem like the better hardware option.
Oh. Decisions decisions.
I think I will go with my instinct. As clever as MOS is in emulating 680x0 software, and as current as the operating system is. I will wait. Until OS4 that is.
