Raspberry PI

[vidarh]

I must admit I find the whining about the performance of the Pi on a forum where a large number of members still stick to hardware with CPUs where double digit MIPS values are considered fast...

It's not like people here don't know and understand that you can actually do a lot of fun stuff with *really* slow hardware.

Especially when the cost of the Pi is practically a rounding error compared to a what a lot of people here regularly spend on hardware...

Someone who complains about the speed of the Pi just instantly demonstrate that they don't get the point of it.

It seems Rasberry is around the minimum specs of AROS HW:
"Ideally around 700Mhz and above with 256MB of memory is recommended for desktops and around 1GHz and 256MB for laptops/notebooks/netbooks."

But from my experience, a HW like 1Ghz Celeron is a bit too slow.

Since it runs even on M68k, I think that depends a lot on how you set it up.... The first tip regarding AROS performance on slower hardware is to turn off Decoration (you get the 3.x look), as enabling decoration makes it dramatically slower.
