SAM 440 - What would owning one mean to you?

[Gebrochen]

Well, I am still a tad annoyed,as I am still awaiting my system to arrive, while I see others on here have already retrieved thiers.

Apart from that, its going to be good. A colleague with his A1 and me with sam440ep are planning to try to get some games out over time. We will see if anything good develops from it.

Also looking forward to using it as my everyday home system, itll be a relief, especially since my day career involves using crapy windows, and takes about 10 minutes to start up, weather other people are there or not.

then theres the constant annoyance of how slow it is, and thats when it is running on massive cpu core, etc, WTF. Amiga never had that problem, even back in the day when one could compare it to apple and windows systems, it was clearly better OS.

As for linux, well, tried it also, but, I just want my amiga.

Its like cars really isnt it, some people think anything GM is crap, others think ford is crap, then there are those that dont even bother getting either, and go for a porsche straight away.

hahahaha, dont believe it, I think I just compared a particular OS to a porsche, and that the there others are like GM crap, ha, and to think I thought I wasnt completely and Morally Insane.  :-o

hehe, ok, enough said, heaps of plans i got, lets hope it all works out, Ive been reading good and bad with the os4.1 for sam users, but more good than bad, I hope Ill be one of the people in the Good section with my sam440ep running 4.1

Cheers, and I hope more hardare is on the way next year, perhaps that 2.5 Ghz dream system Someone was showing off on another amiga forum.  :lol:

@ Dammy:

You must not be having a clear mind today??

Hans has already told you, as various others on the forum here within this thread, OS4.1 RUNS NATIVELY on sam440ep just like AROS and LINUX.

SO, to keep it simple stupid = KISS, the sam440ep may as well be considered the newest of Amiga systems.

Easily to say, that it is also a linux box, but then,  I spose as others also have stated, one could say that the newest MAC boxes, are perhaps no longer MACS, as they are running on x86 and no longer on PPC.

SO

My question to you dammy is, why are you trying to pick a fight with smart and intelligent people like HANS, who know what they are talking about??

Thank you

Kind Regards

Mr Nice!  :eek:  :shocked:  8-)

@ Dammy:

Fair enough I suppose, we all have our own thoughts and personalities as well as characteristics when it comes to thoughts of what something should be called and what not.

Wanna hear my view:

I personally will be calling it a Duel boot system, And will call it an amiga system for my purposes of running it as a daily after hours from my industrial XP system.

However, That does not mean that one cant call it a linux or whatever else box if they want to.

What I am trying to say is, it depends on what the individua who uses the hardware, is using it for!

Cheers, and thank you for not flaming me and taking my question seriously in my previous post.

Have a good weekend mate. :pint:

P.S. Im using a rubber keyboard, gimme a break

@ All;
It means on the 12th i will be able to be like some others on this forum, happy  Amiga drugged.

My SAM is arriving.  :inquisitive:  :evilgrin:

Well, I am using sam, and I am happy it is working. Unfortunately, it seems my psu within the second day of starting no longer works.

So, went to my colleagues, tested it, and my MOBO is perfectly alive and well.

Now we will need to try and find a psu that will fit the nexus case.

Apart from this, everything else is good. I am currently writing this via my sam, via another spare psu, which doesnt have sata support, but I did have a ide to sata connection converter, hence no dvd rom support atm until sunday, when we go to the swap meet for new psu.

haha, well, I am extremely glad my sam440ep is well, and am quiet content with os4.1, all I need to do, is set it up a bit better with software and so forth as soon as I get that psu sunday.

Mmmmm, I might do it at the sunday amiga meeting.

Cheers. 8-)
