Why did 1mb RAM make such a big difference on Amiga games and not on x86 games?

Anyway I think bloated coding is not going to do much for x86 machines in the long run. Sooner or later there is going to be a point were all this bloatware will bite x86 computers in the ass. I think it may be sooner than later, as 64bit machines are just around the corner. As for whether m$ will try to make backwards compatibility native or emulated is another question altogether.

One thing is certain, all that sloppy coding will haunt bgates the day x86 users move forward to 64bit machines.

In Amiga OS Development
I posted
CPU Instructions Q.

in which I share the same sentiments.

AmigaOne! Irrisistable!

Any game I can, I load into a Ram: disk, on my Amiga.

Man, "King's Quest: Perils of Rosella" was a nightmare, loading from disk. Many others, as well.

AmigaOne! 2 Gigs of ram, you can actully USE it!!!!

Hello jeffimix,

X-BUX=
733 MHz Intel Custom Pentium III
250 MHz Custom-Designed NV2X

rest of their huffing and puffing

(not)OS takes less then 3 MB in RAM
Doesn't brag about boot-up time, though. Anybody know that?

Here's an interesting stat: Total Internal Components 800

800? Seems high to me? Are they including screws and dust-bunnies? Read elsewhere, 300 people worked on it about 2 to 3 years.

Here's another bogus semi-fact. THEY wrote IE, so how come it took about a YEAR to get the networking, working?? Loouuuuggggeeerrrrrssss!!!!

NO DIRECT PORTS PLEEASE!!! Look at the features of mozilla, opera, netscape, and (gasp) IE, and Amigafy(TM) it. (Just try not to take as long as AOS4.0 to release it.)

AmigaOne! I ADORE my CD (970-)64!!!!! :-D  :-D
