Can the PandaBoard now use all its memory w/o crashing?

As I've had conversations with the folks at Varisys in the past (before the connection to Aeon was announced), it hardly surprises me that the hardware works (well).

PA6T faster then the G5? Not really.
The original intent was to have a processor that would draw less power while being more powerful then the G4 (As G5s were not practical for laptops).

Camps? That's fiction. Some of us hold strong opinions, others may retain some hard feelings, and still others continue to strive to keep an open mind.
We're not two camps, but individuals with a broad spectrum of opinions.

As a MorphOS user, I've never felt any ill will toward this project.

And I like Treavor.

Ben has made some dicky statements though.

And, no, it doesn't surprise me that at comparable speeds the PA6T and the G4 are not that far apart in benchmarks.

That was predicted quite a long time ago when the specs for the X1000 were first announced.

JIT is not so relevant anymore when you have got 1GHz+ speeds.

I can't say that I agree with that.
Anything that helps performance is useful.

Speed of the x1000 was a real dissapointment! Im happy i bought 60Euro Mac mini yesterday.

60 Euros? Wow!
Most European Mac hardware is priced higher then it is in the US.
You got a bargain.

I think what he meant was that even interpretive emulation on 1+ GHz class machines is usually more than capable of running 68K code faster than any real 68K used in an Amiga. However, JIT is always nice to have regardless and becomes essential on slower host systems. I don't think 68K emulation on OS4.1 classic would be much fun on my 603 sans JIT.

Thanks Karlos,
I guess I misinterpreted that statement.

or, as MOS supporters (and at least one very anxious dev) are so eager to test the X1000 here, why not make a MOS port for the X1000 with duo core support please and thank you ;)

The Quark kernel supposedly could work on a multi-core system, but Abox doesn't support SMP.

Besides, I'm pretty sure if you ask Piru he'll tell you that a port for the X1000 ain't happening.
