Why is speed everything when you talk about the Amiga but not when you talk about Wintel?

If you want speed, why don't you install Win 3.x? Then you'll get speed!

AOS 4 can not be compared to AOS 3.x!

Besides who of you are watching DVDs in WinUAE?

WinUAE is nice and all but I would never replace my A1 with AOS 4 to a PC with WinUAE. I've tried WinUAE on a PIV 2.4GHz and an AMD 2700+ and yes it was fast but not even close to how it feels using a real Amiga and limited to AOS 3.9.

Yes Altivec will make programs that supports it faster but the G3GX is faster for general usage according to Hyperion.

Also the faster G4s are said to be faster than those in A1 XEs because of the larger cache.

If someone who have tried both experienced one as faster than the other I belive that it is so. Do you need benchmarks for everything?

If you're driving can't you see the difference between 30 km/h and 100 km/h without watching the needle?

AOS 4 is very new, being updated all the time and not even released in a final version yet.

The classic would be AOS 3.x runing under WinUAE. One could say that XP is more of a classic then.

And that statement got nothing to do what so ever with what I wrote.

AOS 3.9 is older than AOS 4 and XP is older than AOS 4.

Did you get it now?
