 I have been using Mos for about 15 months and still can't figure out what it is supposed to be - an Apple or an Amiga.

There's nothing of Apple (i.e. OS X) within MorphOS. MorphOS runs on Apple hardwrae, but that's all about the realation of Apple and MorphOS. It's the same as Ubuntu doesn't magically become Appleish if run on Aple gear.
You know - hardware, software (might have heard of it, but am not sure after reading your posts).

Sorry but X1000 is not buyable anymore. So these benchmarks cannot influence buy decisions (what are they typical for). It can only proof (at best) what "fools" are those who bought X1000 and this only leads to emotional discussions. It would have been better to compare it to other MorphOS machines, these cross-camp comparations only lead to bashing. Even if it proofs that a G5 MorphOS system is faster than the X1000 with AmigaOS, the AmigaOS-User will not drop their choice. And new users cannot buy X1000. So I am not sure why this comparation.


I am intersted in ppc processors and hence appreaiate all benchmarks I can get hold of. Especially to learn more about the PA6T for which public information is pretty rare. But once upon a time it was rumoured it would e the überPPC and if it hd arrived b4 Apple's switch, they would never had switched.
Given the now public benchmarks of the X1000 I pretty much doubt these rumours as it shows Apple would not have gained too much with the PA6T over the e600 based chips i.e. 744x and 86xx(D).
