What If It Wasn't PPC

[Gebrochen]

@ Dammy:

Honestly, we all like you being on here with your lovely viewpoints.

But, er, whyis it then, that my 3700+ amd 64 Athlon with 1.5 Ghz ram cannot burn something on XP while trying to run two games (simple games) at once and winamp??

But yet, my SAM440EP PPC, only 667 Mhz, with 512MB RAM can run two games, amiga amp, and complete burning a cd??

I tried it several times on my XP machine, and everytime it would stop burning, fuk up my cd, and give me an error saying too much resources??

WELL, HALLO,

It doesnt seem to be a problem on my tiny SAM440EP running AMiga os4.1 to do it, so why dammy, why??

TALK TO ME!! PLease put me out of the misery of not knowing why XP is so Shet, and any windows before it so shet type of OS that cant, even to date, multi task simultaneously, as I knew it back then from amiga OS1.3 and now OS4.1?

Thank you for your time and any patience you show in your answer to this.

I say, let them stay on PPC, maybe the PPC architecture has something that we have all been overlooking??

EDIT:
If anything, let them upgrade to ARM, I reckon ARM may be the future for an Amiga OS, when people may want a simultaneously multitasking desktop computer, and hardware architecture that doesnt slow down an OS.

Then again, it may just be the way the other os's have been programmed.

BTW, I asked some friends to do the same on their computers running Windows, to try and burn something while doing other things that require cpu power, they were all unsuccessful in completing their burning of their cd's.



Just my 2 cents worth.

Long Live our community.

I heard, they have sold 1300 + sam boards to Amiga users in the first batch, can anyone confirm this??

Kick Arse guys, keep em coming, and please upgrade the PPC cpu's to 2.5Ghz next year.

@ Persia:

Dude I was comparing XP not Frakin MAC. I know mac is alright of an OS, still slower than my SAM when I used my friends new MAC laptop in loading software.

The only thing slow on my SAM is Origyn Web Browser to load that is.I think its the way its been coded.??

@ Dammy:

(slight pause)

Well, Yeah, that's my whole point, imagine the Amiga os On a kick arse system, it would {bleep} all over any other OS out there I reckon, atleast from what Ive seen what my SAM440EP with os4.1 can do, with only 667Mhz and 512MB RAM.

Only thing is, they would have to let it support a lot more devices I suppose. Although, it worked with my usb printer, usb RUBBER keyboard,4 port HUB(which didnt work on xp, despite it being for xp), webcam, the only thing Ive found so far, was Camera card reader, but then, it recognises it, I think I just need to d/l the software for it from os4depot or aminet.

SO, all in all, in future, if everything pans out with my colleague, we will only be creating for AmigaOS4 onwards, MorphOS, Mac OS, and Debian, but never windows.

 :-D

We have already started on our website design, itll be simple at first, later might upgrade if people like what we have to offer.

cheers.
