Relative merits of AmigaOne compared to Pegasos?

mingle: In the end.. what matters is what works and what's available..   If you are not in hurry, check out what software will be made to these systems and see if those are enough for your needs.

There are a lot of old programs, but running them under special emulators is pain.. I'd rather look for those who work on native environment and new ones.

Wayne & all.. By the time there is any program (Game) that really
for Amiga/Pegasos that needs AGP*8, new computers have PCI-Express
connectivity instead of AGP and PCI..

Only commercial games/ports I know that are supposed to be released
this year are EPIC:s Northland and Divine Divinity (both for MorphOS).
And neither of those are much stress to current level of GFX chips.
Beoynd those I don't know any recent work on games. (*)

Early next year Intel will release their first motherboard chipsets
with PCI-Express and knowing their ability to puch innovations I'm
quite sure others follow soon. So by the time next versions of these
computers are made (next summer?) this entire AGP is old and
diminishing market.

I'm not saying AGP (or PCI) will be gone soon, but quite frankly
neither can I see those BIG game makers coming to Amiga markets RSN.
And making new game of todays standards requires 100:s people and a
lot of money. So even if someone wins lottery this weekend, it'll
still take at least a year or two to make high quality game.

(*)  Plus Titan's Rage Hard, but it's sometime 2004...  I know
Hyperion had some game-ports on hold waiting for AmigaOne+OS4 ..
unfortunately those games are becoming quite old and are not much on
gfx anymore. Besides.. I'm not sure how soon they ran release their
coders on OS4 development for game projects cause OS4.1 and 4.2 needs
coders too.

Hooligan: THE  Amiga that was worth fighting for has been dead for
years. This curent name-owner ain't nowere near.
