Feels comfy. (Even with the only 128 megs ram) Yet, I have little experience with tho


I would say that 128MB would be quite enough for most average users. When I bought my pegasos I was kind of used to the Wintel situation (WinXP will hardly boot with less than 256MB, and becomes confortable only at 512MB), so I thought I would go for 256MB. Unfortunately there were some problems in finding 256MB memory modules that would work (Gunne at GGS data did some testing), so I went for a 512MB Samsung registered module. And man, was that an overkill in an "Amiga" envireonment? :-) Well, at least I have a *huge* RAM: drive! :-D
MorphOS is Amiga done right! :)

Apple are wise not to release the specs with all the GHz-fans around.


I think whabang meant more like "technical documentation needed for porting an OS". But can Linux run on it, so can AmigaOS/MorphOS, right?

Any btw, an Apple is not really superior to an A1 or Pegasos - maybe Apple get the first pick of the PPCs, but there's not much else better... :-)


I wouldn't say that. Have a look at: http://www.apple.com/powermac/

On that page you can see the following specifications: The powermac comes with either dual G4 @ 1.25GHz or dual G4 @ 1.42GHz. It has better memory bandwith than the Articia, up to 2 GB of high-speed DDR SDRAM can be used. It has one FireWire 800 port, two FireWire 400 ports. It also has Gigabit ethernet. Finally, it has AGP 4x.

You can also read: "What’s more, FireWire, PCI expansion and Gigabit Ethernet are integrated directly into the main system controller, reducing latencies and providing superior I/O performance."

Looking at the specs, I would say that Apple is pretty much superiour to both the A1 and the Pegasos1. It is *a lot* more expensive too, of course! ;-)
