You have to be kidding...

Recreating a PPC card from a photo... first off, it would cost you more than you could ever make back...

These cards were VERY complex beasts, 8 layer boards or something... to try and interface two incompatible CPUs (The 040 and the 603) onto an old 68020 bus, is a horrific task... the firmware development alone would probably cost more than your entire budget.

I honestly cant see what advantage this would have over running UAE on something like a Mini/Pico-ITX board...?!?

@Atheist

Before posting I would urge you to read up on the 21st Century... despite nearly 10 years, it seems to have totally passed you by...

First off, I never have to swap file switched on on my XP machines (they all have over 1gig ram...).

Secondly... wander over to a local Computer store and check out the latest USB Flash drives... I have two 16gig OCZ Rally2s sitting on my desk right now... they only cost me £35 each...

Finally... a 2Gig DIMM can be bought from any good computer store, I bought a 2Gig Corsair DD2 SODIMM  last week for my MacBook Pro for £29 from http://www.dabs.com

Don't you understand what I wrote? It's a HARD DRIVE made of 4 CF cards..... Not main system ram.


You can already buy these, Essentially SATA caddies that take CF cards... the performance is less than stella... Just buy an SSD...

Honestly Atheist, why do you bother posting on technology issues, with no technological knowledge?

Isn't it much cheaper to buy 3 1 Gigs?

Also, you STILL need a 1 Gig to get to xps limit of 3 Gigs.

Funny that, AOS came out in 1985, with a 2 Gig limit and billy gates, in 2008 has a mere 1 Gig ram space edge over us!!!!!!!!

AND, their OS uses up almost all of the extra 1 gig, so we're STILL ahead!!!!



No... since my MacBoookPro only has two slots and due to a design limitation in the PreSantaRosa chipset can only address 3Gigs, it makes sense for me to have a 1gig + a 2Gig SODIMMs.

I don't know why you are going on about XP anyway... it's an 8 year old OS... Both Vista (the expensive versions) and MacOSX 10.5.3 are 64bit systems that can address well over 4gig...

Anyways, bloodlines' comments are often factually false.


If you can refute what I say, with concrete examples then go ahead. I will stand by my comments until proven otherwise.

If you really need me to, I will go off and cite specific examples, but some of them are so far off the mark that they should be self-evident to anyone with some semblance of clue.


If you are not prepared to back up your libellous comments with evidence no matter how stupid it may seem to you, then don't bother saying anything at all!

If you are privy to information I am not, then please share... that the point of conversations.

I'd urge you to simply re-read some of his comments (both in this thread and others) and come to your own conclusions. My opinion is in no way canon :)


With only 2 posts to your name, I suspect you are probably just someone I pissed off who is now using a separate account to try and get back at me. Well done aren't you clever.
