Philosophical question related to AROS vs OS4

[hbarcellos]

Some facts:

* UAE emulation will be fully integrated inside AROS soon (http://thenostromo.com/teamaros2/index.php?number=7).
* When running on a non-original Amiga hardware (AmigaOne, EFIKA, etc...) OS4 runs classic software through emulation (Petunia), right?

So, besides Amiga software designed to run on PPCs, what will be the difference of running AROS in a x86 box than running OS4 on AmigaOne, Pegasos or EFIKA?

I see one, there's a good chance of the x86 box being MUCH MUCH faster than the ppc based board...

Am I right?

I saw some posts on the Amithlon discussion.
Integration is ready and functional?
Can I get latest Icaros build?

[hbarcellos]

It is fast even when it is running on a virtual machine? I never managed to install Aros natively on any of my hardwares. Ill try it on a recently got old 1ghz dell latitude. But ill probably have to end using it with a microxp vmware installation.

Btw, is that version out yet?

[hbarcellos]

Just for the record, Icaros does not contain the upcoming UAE intergration

So, when can we expect a build with the latest integration?

That was the turning point for me.
That + good coding tools = Good Hobbyist machine.
That + Wine + Modern Browser with Flash support = Good Mainstream machine.

BTW, talking about monster machines, Piru and fishy_fiz competing just to see who has the fastest Core 2 (Duo or Quad) was really immature, but funny! Reminded me my teenage days...
...and I don't respect anyone with something slower than an i7.
...and I stoped overclocking machines when I got myself tweaking car radiators to adapt them into my home-made watercooling solution....
hehee...

Huh ? Who was competeing ? I was simply saying that after a while raw speed becomes redundant for custom chipset stuff, citing my personal use of winuae vs. aros+uae and the systems I run them on. There were absolutely no, "my computer is faster than your computer" comments at all. If anything you're the one who's closest to doing such nonesense with your "I dont respect anyone who uses less than an i7" rubbish. By the way, a highly clocked core2 is faster than a standard i7, which must be confusing for you if youre going to make such claims ?

Calm down Hobbyist fishy_fiz. It's probably be confusing to you, but do you know something called Irony?
