I think it is interesting to look at the block diagram. The PCI Bus 1 is used for either 32 bit AGP *OR* 64 bit PCIX/PCI. Does this mean that the system designers get AGP in the same way as with the Marvell Discovery 2 after all?  :-o  :-P

I think this post shows clearly that the Articia bug never existed...


I think you are reading too much into this promo-post. And remember: Eyetech, Amiga Inc (and later Hyperion) was the first ones who spoke in public about the Articia bugs. You are not calling them liars, are you?

Which was fixed in the new revision of the Articia S present in all Amiga XE boards.


If you say so.

But the bug existed (the statement to which I responded to). Both Genesi and you knew about it. Genesi tried to solve the problems in silence behind the curtains in order to NOT cause any FUD against the Articia which might damage the public trust for the Pegasos, but your troika were the ones who made the Articia bugs publically known (which was totally unnecessary; noone needs to know about bugs that aren't there anymore, the only thing important is that the product works. Your *only purpose* with badmouthing the Articia in public the way you did was to spread the word "we have a bugfree Articia - the Pegasos has NOT" = to cause FUD against the Pegasos). Some people tend to forget what really happend. Your FUD against the Articia kicked back. Imagine ...
