FS: Pegasos 2 G3

[takemehomegrandma]

anyone got experience with this version of peg 2.

Yes, I have one G3 Pegasos 2 myself (and one G4 as well).

is it fast enough for morphos 2 ?

 
Depends on what you will use it for, of course.

how hard are the g4 cpu cards to come by and how much they go for

Extremely hard. I'd say that 99.99% of the people bought their Pegasos 2's in motherboard+CPU bundles only. They figured out what kind of price/performance was the most suitable for them, and then they bought that combo.

In fact, I can only recall one occasion where I have seen someone selling a CPU card stand-alone: Magnetic, on MorphZone.org

how much ram can a peg 2 take

It depends a little on the board revision, if you use single or dual memory modules, models, etc.

If it's a rev 2B5 motherboard, it may take up to 2GB, if you use *paired* (identical) 1GB modules, check the linked thread for details. Older versions than 2B5 have problems with this. Neko is running 1GB on his 2B3 revision board. I haven't heard of anyone having problems with a single 512MB. Feel free to ask follow up questions in that thread, as chances are you will get a more clever answer there than here... ;-)

MorphOS runs with 128MB, but 256MB does really make a difference.

and is it ddr ?

Yes.

In general benchmarks say that in general OS4 runs faster (!) than Samantha on Peg.

Why would that be a surprise?
