Will someone on this forum please ban this PC spamming/Free Ad pc vendor.  I come to this forum to read about topics Amiga. ARES its equipment its software and everything about it, is the same as my mate down the road who puts PCs together with parts and sells them at the local market. Its not Amiga, Has nothing to do with the Amiga and is really starting to piss me off, that this bloke is doing nothing different from from the other piss artists CUSA. Please end this.

Edit: Oh and a "portion" how much 1% 20% 50%, Like the Clothing charity down the road, 0.01% perhaps ?

You do realise this is from the guy behind AROS Broadway do you not? This is a different kettle of fish than "your mate down the street" or even CUSA. These are machines built specifically for AROS, and come with AROS and an amiga software pack. PhoenixKonsole has invested a lot of his own time and money on this community, paid a portion of the IntelHD audio driver development costs, contributed heavily to getting Audio Evolution4 ported to AROS, and so much more. What have you contributed besides moaning about something you obviously have little idea about?

@PhoenixKonsole

Ive gotta wonder why you stick with AMD though. Its no longer any cheaper and so far behind Intel its not funny. AMD's athlon2/phenom2's are slower than what Intel produced 3 generations ago (core2), and Bulldozer struggles to even compete with the thing its replacing (athlon2/phenom2). It's a shame, I like to barrack for the underdog, but AMD's cpus are terrible compared to the alternatives these days. They dont even really have  bang per buck advantage anymore, which was its saving grace for the last 3 or so years.

Yes AMD cpus still absolutely destroy any ppc cpu still, but its not what theyre competing with.

Sure, and that's your perogative. Theyre still quite good value, but the bridge has gapped so much in recent times between AMD and Intel that personally Id find it very difficult to buy even a budget AMD machine. Bang per buck probably favors Intel these days, or at best/worst (depending on perspective) theyre much on par.
Intel is a little more pricey, but you get a lot more for the $$.

I too held on with AMD for as long as I saw reasonable, but as much as it disappoints me to say so theyre in trouble with what they have to offer the desktop consumer these days.
While I understand a person may favor one or the other Im not sure enduring customers to a struggling, comparitively weak platform is the right way to go.

Thier only saving grace may be fusion. While quite weak as it stands, one thing Bulldozer architecture hsa going for it is that it lends itself well to the fusion concept. This is one thing that most hardware sites (and its many clueless drones that comment there) have so far failed to point out.

Anyway, none of this is particularly important. Mostly Im just thinking aloud (or in text as is case)
Thanks for your efforts and keep up the good work
