"at 1GHz or more". Well, what frequency? And how "available" is "available"? I must say I actually considered it there for a moment, but considering that GGS-Data is closed for the holidays, and pegasos-france doesn't have a website anymore, browsing their "Purchase site" became just silly (try it yourself).

(btw: I have zero interest in MOS, but Debian is always fun :-) )

No L3 cache, right? I take it this is because of the 3% speed increase Alan and a few others have claimed Motorola confirmed, but Pegasos supporters said was just a silly excuse? ;-)

Or is it that the cache is on the backside of the board?

Well, spotted, Grandma :-)

Silly me for not spotting that...

I guess it comes down to price and availability, as well as the lack of speed gain. Apple are still hogging a lot of G4 CPUs, I guess...

Not quoting a price for a product that is "available now" is silly. Not quoting the MHz rating is also silly (yes, I know MHz isn't all, but a 1GHz 7447 compared to a 1.3GHz G4 can be compared pretty easily, imho ;-) )

I have since looked at a few more reseller-pages, but they all suck :-)

pegasosppc.com is a REALLY nice looking page, but when you keep getting referred to pages that look like crap (or even non-existant pages. Come on, a new website and it already has dead links?) the wow-factor doesn't last long :-)

I don't want to contact BB directly for purchasing something (do I have to email Alan to purchase an AmigaOne G4?), especially not since they have links to 20-odd webshops on their site.

Ah, ok. That's a rather bit drawback for those who already own a Peg1, isn't it? There's like 50% chance it will work on their board, is it? ;-)

Oooookay. Now I'm confused. It IS being advertised as an upgrade card, not a trade-in-offer on www.pegasosppc.com ;-)

Why not enjoy being able to say you bought it from the company president?


Because I find his communicative skills severly lacking in certain areas, and his business practice not excactly something anyone should be proud of?

Seriously, I got one of the first AmigaOnes at a good price directly from Alan, but I would prefer to buy from someone I can walk up to and grab hard if someone pulls a fast one over me ;-)

I prefer to buy over the counter from people with either beards or ties or both. Gives me quite a bit of an advantage in a complaint-situation :-)
