News on the X1000!

To be honest with alot people whould never support os4 anyway no matter what
you gave them just human nature , remmber back in the day people complaining
they didnt have wb 3 hd but did nothing for themselves to change that.

I have mac mini G4 l brought it just so l chould run Morphos it was cheap option with 400 nz then first one broke down (broken mb ) cost 300 nz plus not worth it

brought another one that was 300.00 nz so total so far nz 600.00 thats along way
to new sam 460 mb , am afraid nothing like buying new machine.
I found in past even with pcs , which never owned new one, always made them from new parts mind you. who wants other people probs.

That's bad luck, your mini broke. But to my knowledge yours is the first report of some fellow from the Amiga scene about a broken Mac mini G4. All in all they seem to be rather reliable. Mine runs fine at least - and it's already longer in my possession than the warranty would have lasted if it would have been new on purchase.

any/all XMOS apps plus any other area where extra speed would be required i.e 3D rendering, video applications etc.
also running old 68k apps/games with E-UAE (with integrated solutions like glUAE or RunInUAE) would drastically benefit from the extra speed

Which XMOS Application? There's none.
But extra cpu power is always welcome, for browsing, video, raytracing, compiling, UAE whatever. The more the better. But question remains: for what price. And taking the price into account the X1000... Well, it's up to each one¹ to either rob a bank, sell your stocks or take a mortage on the house.

Well one reason for me is the dual core cpu and right amout horsepower to
Play Avis with hardware graphics support the sam baords just dont have enough
Apart from sam 460 .
but for me if going spend x amount of cash l rather spend more money get someting
am going keep for next 8 years . and before say it doesint suport secend cpu it will
The diffrence betwen my p4 and dual core cpu machine made for my nephew
Is quite large does everthing bit better smother l betting be same with x1000
faster ram better cpu chache it all adds up in small important ways, its
how it all works toghter . the sam 460 board is good but . for me l want x1000
just personall choice

Probably your nephew's machine uses an OS with proper SMP support. Something which will be rather unlikely for OS4. Except backwards compability gets thrown overboard.
Best hope is AMP. Not a bad thing per se, but requires the apps to take account of multiprocessing. Probably similarly done like PowerUp by phase5. But only new programs will benefit from multicore then. And - don't get this wrong - IMHO Hyperion were not too fast and successful yet to provide new and working OS functionalities. Providing a good multiprocessing support is messing at deep layers of the OS. I just have serious concerns they are capable of doing it in a sensible timeframe (say 12 months from now) with a decent result (no compabilty flaws, easy to use API).

@Klx300r
Wow, X1000 related thread with 99% Mos and Classic only people, discussing it.

That makes at 90 posts so far (not considering that many posts are from the same folks) about 0.9 non classic or MorphOS ppl...
