Philosophical question related to AROS vs OS4

[Piru]

(although 68k software will be more compatible and run faster on AROSes intergration method). Try running AGA software on an a1/sam/peg2/etc. using UAE. It's very slow to the point of being unusable for the majority of software, even for "stock" aga software. Dont even bother with something like Breathless, alienbreed3d, etc., even on a Mac Mini.

Well, if I want to run such HW hitting apps or games I do it with WinUAE. WinUAE is superior to any other UAE, including AROS one.

Also after a while extra performance becomes redundant for some things, so while Winuae will be faster than other UAEs, for things using custom chipset an user wont notice it if you give a system enough raw grunt (even the heaviest of aga games/demos appear to run more or less identically on both my Windows machine running Winuae (c2d@4.1ghz) and my AROS machine using e-uae (c2d@3.86ghz using only one core).

WinUAE still has the best configurability options, features and usability. It's not just about speed.

I agree, this is beyond the point. I rarely use any apps that'd require use of UAE. All my favorite 68k apps run directly inside MorphOS with full speed and integration (faster than they would with my WinUAE and C2Q 3.6GHz)

BTW, talking about monster machines, Piru and fishy_fiz competing just to see who has the fastest Core 2 (Duo or Quad)

The speed wasn't mentioned in any competitive sense.

PS. The CPU is passively cooled.
