What is so hard to understand with it ?

Strap AthonXP onto a Pentium1-board.
Pair the 970 with an Articia_S
Or just look at a 020-accel without mem for an A500.

All these things can be done with just enough sweat, but all these setups will suffer
from severe bottlenecks in the RAM-bandwdith.

And the RAM-bandwidth is one of the key-factors that make the 970 so attractive.


I'm with Kronos... 970 paired with a G3/4 chipset is asking for slow performance...

ready to run the AmigaOS 5 when completed, which will be a true 64-bit SMP-OS!!!


I hear AOS5 being talked about... 64-bit, SMP, Memory Protected, portable across architetures, single executable binary... But given that AOS4 is still in the early to mid stages of being ported from 68k to PPC... how exactly is AOS5 supposed to work and when exactly is the time frame for this?
