800Mhz A1G3XE the best choice than the 800Mhz A1G4XE?

Here i have some stuff already waiting:
ATI Radeon 8500 DDR TV
LG CDRW 48x 12x 52x
both 7200 ATA133 80&40 Hardisks
oops! seems to have missed a nice Keyboard/mice and
Tower!I must go for it now!
Since XE had audio headers, live! can be later.

waiting the most important thing...
:hammer::hammer::hammer::hammer::hammer::hammer::hammer:
Motherboard & RAM!!!!

I've gone for the XE G4 like most. Ordered mine 2 months ago so this new option was not available.
The way i see it there is a price difference of £50 for a reason. You pay for what you get.

Bought a Radeon 8500 but I've got an AGP Voodoo 3 3000 to use until the Warp3D radeon drivers are ready.

7200RPM 40gig Maxtor HD
ATA 100/133 80 Wire "glow in the dark round cables"
Floppy - Glow in the dark round cable.
1 GIG of RAM
2 Blue LED case fans
2 Blue Cold cathode tubes
LG 48x15x48 CDRW
Liteon DVD-ROM
Soundblaster live 5.1
Wireless PS Keyboard & Mouse
V770K Blue / Silver Case with transparent side panel. Front USB / Audio connectors.
Boing ball power button.

HOW!!?!? Your Radeon 8500 has 128Mb DDR?
Mine only had 64Mb.But is an ATI itself,not a Powered by
Ati GFX card,what differences and how about performance at all?

Glad you asked, buddy:-) Made by ATI yes, but delivered by Crucial. 128MB yes, at 250Mhz clock speed with 128-bit DDR-memory...Not that bad at all..That's why it called 8500LE....:-)

I bought the powermagic one which is an ATI built 64MB version. only difference is that it runs at 250Mhz not 275Mhz. I read a review on the net and it runs fine overclocked at 275Mhz

I believe it's possible to overclock the graphic board, but it seems to risky..

Its a risk some people are willing to take.

I over clocked my Blizzard PPC from 240Mhz to 280Mhz by soldering in an Oscillator socket an putting a 70Mhz Oscillator in it from on-spec.

It recently sold again on amibench so its still doing the rounds and i did that back in 1999.

I wonder if the 800Mhz G4 will be over clockable.

Not that its worth attemping until the warranty is up.

FSB 133.33Mhz X 6 multiplier = 800Mhz
If you can change the multiplier to 7 it will gives you 933 Mhz or x 8 = 1066 Mhz

[guessing mode]

The dev G4's should be with developers this week.
1 week of testing should take us upto around 31/01/03.

Then full production should start according to alans posting.
So hopefully around 10/02/03 perhaps

will amigaOne boot from a SCSI HDD?

Cant see why not the OS4 feature list did not mention the A1 only cyberstorm and blizzards.

From OS4 feature list.....

OS 4.x native SCSI drivers for the Symbios SCRIPTS family of SCSI controllers

Support for the onboard SCSI controllers of the Cyberstorm PPC and BlizzardPPC.
