Eyetech updates AmigaOne prices

[takemehomegrandma]

I thought that AmigaOS was a lean, mean OS that didn't need the vast amounts of RAM needed by other, inferior products? If that's still the case, why are they selling it with 512 meg of RAM when it should be literally flying with 64?

I have 512MB in my Pegasos. I had been away from Amiga for a while and was kind of used to the PC situation when I ordered it, and I must say it is a real overkill with that much memory in an Amiga envireonment. But at least you will have a huge RAM: drive!  :-D

Why they are selling it? I think it has something to do with availability really. I don't think there are any 64MB or 128MB modules available that works with the Articia. Perhaps a few 256MB's, but I believe it is much easier to get ahold of the 512MB's.

Is that kingston ?

No, made by Samsung and runs at pc133 (backwards compatable), my mate uses the ram in his A1G3-SE and not had any problems, time will tell when OS4 comes out,

I am using a 512MB registered Samsung PC133 ECC in my Pegasos. Works fine! And it's the same Articia, so ...

@Helgis75:

Yes, AFAIK the G3 is faster than the G4 at the same clock frequency. But the G4 is available in higher clock frequencies. And if the G4's Altivitec is being used it may boost performance even more for some applications.
