Ahh. These are the kind of questions I have been missing for so long!
1.Since OS4 will have virtual memory, will it be struggling like Windoze does?
We can only guess of course (since we haven't seen it), but I don't think you should look at Windows when judging VM in general. Since this is a feature Hyperion thinks is completely nessecary(implementing huge games is much easier/quicker if you don't have to fit them all into physical memory), my bet is that they made it as quick and effective as possible.
2.Will the machine boot up as fast as a 68030/50mhz A1200 I have now?
I don't know how fast you computer boots now, but the Frieden's have at various occations claimed a very fast load time. Apparently the bios initialization will/could be over before the average big monitor have time to display the picture...(and then the OS itself loads of course)
My impression is that you shouldn't be disappointed.
3.Will my Voodoo 3 3000 AGP card work for OS4 out of the package?
I think so... Don't quote me on that though. I seem
to recall all Vodoos being supported. Better check
the OS4 club at Yahoo! - that's where you'll find the
Frieden's these days.
4.Can you run previous PPC software onto OS4, like a PPC application for OS3.9 onto a new G3 cpu and OS4?
So it would seem, since those are realtively new and mostly don't use AGA (in which case it won't work except for in emulation).
5.How much space will AmigaONE take up to install.
No idea. My guess is more than OS3.9, far less that Windows.
6.Will I be able to use Winmodems, like my USR 56k PCI internal WinModem?
Don't know.
I have this PeeCee now, but if I can save up to get OS4 and the Motherboard, i am gonna tear the guts out of this one and place the AmigaONE board on this. It has 256mb PC-133 ram. The power supply is 300watts. The case is ATX, and I got x2 6gig harddrives. Is this enough to bring my AmigaONE over to my friends and show him up with my AmigaONE if I ever get it assembled right? :-D
Sounds OK to me ;-)
