To One or not to One
« on: November 08, 2002, 03:49:23 PM »
Hello people,

I was just wondering, like many of you, I expect whether to buy an AOne now or wait until OS4.

What is worrying me slightly is the chipset "fix" that has been implemented.  What is the nature of the fix?  I know the problem was related to the hardware hanging during high bandwidth data shifting but is the fix to stop masses of data being moved around.

If so, is the next release of the AOne going to be better in terms of performance.  I appreciate there are always going to be minor tweaks in hardware revisions but is it worth waiting 6 months :-o  for the fixed chipset rather than the 'bodge' for want of a better word?

Or is there really not that much difference?

To be honest, I'm not worried about the money, I was just worried that I may end up with an inferior version of the Amiga One hardware (If that is possible)  :-D I'm thinking of the Buster revision issues in the original Amigas here.

I'm not *that* interested in Linux, I already been there done that when I bought the first version of Amiga DE.

So, seeing as all I'm waiting for is OS4 running on AOne, is it worth me buying now?

The only advantage might be that I can spread the cost of the bits and pieces over a few months but like I said I not really bothered about that.

Just out of interest, how much of the price of the top end AOne is the processor and how much is the motherboard?
