Registering Interest for AmigaOne X1000

[Iggy]

april fools!

No they are actually getting ready to release a new run.
I registered yesterday on March 3!st.

BTW - Way to go Darrin!

I am going to spare them the effort:

"Overpriced piece of junk and OS."

There...

And again. Trolling.
And as far as overpriced junk goes, there's plenty of legacy hardware available on Ebay right now.

[Iggy]

O...amateur wanna-be OS called MOS...

We get it Dr. Troll , you don't like Macs and MorphOS.
Its funny, as a MorphOS user I can still exchange pleasant messages with OS4 developer Steve Solie, but I have read verbal diarrhea like this from trolls like you.
As we still have plenty of Pegasos machines available on the used market and have the advantage of being able to use low cost hardware from Apple I'm not particularly worried about not having new hardware.
In fact in some benchmarks, my ten year old Powermac outperforms an X1000.
In others its not far behind.

And if I did purchase an X1000, I'd have a much more even handed response to both camps then you would appear to have.

[Iggy]

Why not?

Absolutely Piru!
Why not?!

I have a Powermac running MorphOS but I've registered with Amigakit to receive notice when this second batch is ready.

[Iggy]

In fact my AmigaOne outperforms the Turbo Chameleon 64. Your point being?

Useful information and not surprising as a PPC is considerably more powerful then an FPGA.

Nice to see you interacting civilly Doc.

And MorphOS support for Powerbooks should be available in about two weeks.

ya great now to top it off this thread has gone to discussing apple products:quickdraw:

I don't mind discussing Apple products, but OSX I mean come on I don't even have that installed on my system.

[Iggy]

MorphOS has modern 3D support? Have I missed something?
 
All camps have strength and weaknesses and none is "unbeatable" with no room for improvement

 
Am I missing something?
AROS doesn't support the latest 3D GPUs either.
An Nvidia 7600GT (like mine) or a 9600GSO? Sure.
Buy not much higher.
 
And compared to OS4, both MorphOSand AROS support adequate 3D support.

[Iggy]

So based on this post can you understand why people who are interested in getting an OS4 machine are a bit confused when you recommend a PowerMac on a AmigaOS4 related thread.

Actually, that makes sense to me.
It would make more sense to reference Transitions offer on AmigaOne XE systems.

[Iggy]

I think we are still on speaking terms. At least I am.
But then I am a weird person.

greets,
Staf.

Maybe you are, but I'm huddling in a corner of my home waiting for two seriously pissed off Germans to knock on my door.

Forgot to mention X1000 is first platform to offer 64-bit transition path to AmigaOS. In my opinion, its more likely both advanced features might first be used on existing PPC systems being X1000 and likely G5 for MorphOS then we know of any real x86 transition.

Maybe, but for now you're going to see these processors running in 32bit mode.
