A4000 / 060 + PPC Vs. SAMiga (440). Which one and why?

[xeron]

I have an A4000 in an Elbox Power Tower, with Repulse soundcard, FastATA, Mediator 4000, Voodoo 3, TV card, Cyberstorm 060/PPC, running OS4.0.

I also have an AmigaOne XE/G4 running OS4.1.

The AmigaOne is used every single day, the A4000 is switched on only occasionally. The AmigaOne is just way faster, and nicer to use.

I probably should sell the 4000, but it has too much sentimental value... and I still like it, its just not as nice to use as the A1.

So, basically, I say go for the SAM.

Post which software you use..

In general, if its system friendly, it generally works.

Well, some things written for 1.3 would work, but really, the older the software, the more likely it is to try and use the original hardware directly (and fail).

Although there are CIA and Blitter emulators for OS4.x which make some of that software work better, but not much

Good stuff. I'm sure you'll love it.

Do you have it ordered?

Well... it never going to take Apple's market share, but thats not the end of the world.

I've had my AmigaOne for 5 years now, and it has had heavy daily use ever since (well, ok, ever since it got OS4 on it anyway), its obscurity hasn't made any difference to me.
