News on the X1000!

Isnt PA6T supposed to be a SoC ? Why would an additional south bridge (SB600) be required?

Speaking of updates, I think new badges are needed. The current ones are outdated

Onboard sound these days can be quite reasonable and will often be better than older dedicated solutions. Having said this though I cant say I know anything about what sound is being used for x1000.

As for me wondering why a south bridge is neeed it appears PA6T has no intergrated pci controllers which probably plays a large part.

Yeah, after looking further into it, it appears PA6T has very limited ondie functionality. Im surprised it even has the moniker of a SoC. Not saying this is a bad thing (or good for that matter), it's just an observation.
I also noticed while doing a bit of research that its Wikipedia page is one of the few places that rates it so low in regards to power consumption. Most other sources rate it at roughly 4x the consumption its Wikipedia page says. (including some tech. sites that have had hands on experience).
Makes no difference to me at the end of the day though, but being that Im interested in hardware I'd be curious to get some real details on it.

Jorkany is one of the two people in the world who looks at Moobunny as a reliable and up to date site for information and intelligent discussions!

One thing that moobunny does do well though is to demonstrate just how screwed up this community has become  
New to Amiga ? Want a fair representation of Amiga in it's current day guise ? Simply read moobunny for 10 minutes. It wont tell you much about the actual system, but it'll give you good insight into the community   The funny thing is that you could call moobunny a parody, or an accurate representation and both would be equally true

Yes I was referring to AW.net as "TOS.net", because that site seems to be more about discussing the Terms Of Service than about discussing Amiga (and flavors). Every other thread (and poll for that matter) seems to be started by some crybaby moaning "Moderators, help, someone is saying something I don't approve of, why are people allowed to make posts I don't like, boohooo" and such. Outright painful to see, and I guess it's a long-lasting hangover from "the MikeyC-days", but it pictures everything that's wrong with that part (OS4) of the community, and I'm so glad that I left it several years ago. It's crazy! But it would be even better if the TOS-kind of meta discussions *would be kept* on the site where they were invented, instead of having them dragged over here, because I have a feeling that people here are more interested in discussing the *Amiga* (and flavors) than *who* should be allowed to post *what* and *where*!

Just my EUR 0.02...

Sure, that's one side. The other side is that there are people who like to antagonise others on that site to get those types of reactions. It really has become a self fulfilling prophecy. Group "A" antagonises Group "B" until Group "A" gets the reaction they tried to get from Group "B". Group "A" then goes on to complain that they cant speak thier minds without Group "B" complaining about it. Group "A" effectively sets themselves up for something and then arent happy when they get the result theyre ultimately after.
Personally I find both groups equally annoying.
