Way to slow to do anything at 200mhz or less, unless you just want to load it and look at it...


Oh, so just like OS3.x on 68K then? I mean come on, you are talking sub 100MHz here, how does it even boot? :rolleyes:

This is a site about Amigas, not a Nazi or Islama-fascist site.

So, object to the phrase "Zionist" and then go on to use "Islama-facist" ?

How ironic.


Anyway, back on topic, please.

et, I fail to see the interest of the rather hungry OS4 with a Amiga+PowerPC today when compared with OS3.x + wup/pup.


I used to think like that, but the reality is that PPC native apps running on a PPC native OS without cache flushing context switches and relying on a CPU that in my case had 1/10th the clockspeed to handle IO etc, tends to be a bit quicker. I mean, who would have thought it?

@nicholas & Iggy

If you wish to discuss the political ideology of Zionism, take it to the coffee house/politics section. This is not the place.
