Well, i've got a Peg and an AmigaOne. The peg ended up in the loft and the AmigaOne gets used every day, so i guess I found OS4 to be nicer :-)

Ideally, both should be readily available on reasonably priced hardware so people could make up their minds from having both in their hands. Life hasn't worked out that way, though, which really sucks.

Is your Peg a 1 or a 2?  If a 2, is it a G4 1gHz, or slower?  What CPU and speed is your AmigaOne?


Its a Pegasos 1 April 2, 600Mhz G3, Radeon 9200. The AmigaOne is an XE-G4, 800Mhz G4, Radeon 7500.

MorphOS was not sluggish or buggy on the peg; in fact it runs really rather well. I just prefer OS4.

If not, then it isn't a fair comparison.  Do you think your Peg would be in the attic collecting dust if it had the same hardware spec as your AmigaOne?


Probably. I do intend to try out MOS2.0 at some point, though, but i'll have to get a new gfx card for the peg because i put the 9200 into a PC. I'm thinking of getting a 9250 for the AmigaOne, and if i do, the 7500 can go in the peg.

(btw, the only reason i put the 9200 straight into a PC rather than into the A1, was that the 7500 has DVI out while the 9200 card doesn't).
