WinUAE > Will it run on my PC?

[Linchpin]

Hey chaps, want to ask all you WinUAE people out there about min PC spec.

My Hunk-Of-Junk PC is :

Athlon 750MHZ
650MB 133 SD ram
Nvidia G-Force 4 GFX (I have a GF2 also)

Anyone think this will cut it?

@LinchpiN

WinUAE runs even on 486.

Or you're asking how fast it will run?

[whabang]

Don't listen to Mr. Optimist! :-) It'll emulate an A1200 with a 28 MHz 020 just fine, but don't expect it to compete with high-end systems.

[Linchpin]

Eww! Sloooooooooow then :-(

Today is officially slow day.

What the hell?

My old Athlon 600Mhz with 384meg ram and a TNT2 Gfx (running WinXP PRo) can run the Latest WinUAE far faster than any Amiga I have ever used. Including my PPC system.


Today may well be the last day for my Old 600Mhz Athlon... 5 years of solid stable and reliable service. Tomorrow my Athlon 64 mobo should arrive :-D

Cheers bloodline :-D

You still want those photo's dude? Ill get em digitally snapped up later for you if you do.

Didn't know the PPC was that slow. Because my A1200 without PPC, is much faster than WinUAE on my PIII, 500 MHz.

Oh yeah, cheers. Just send them to the Email in my profile :-)

[Linchpin]

Ok dude, and if i can get the whole front PCB out without killing my PC you can take it all :-D

[Star69]

I found that my old p3 450 was about the same speed as my 1200 when running UAE

[Linchpin]

Hmm ill test it and see..

[bloodline]

THe Athlon 750 is a mighty beast, expect good results.

[Linchpin]

Its pretty cool, pull 1 jumper off the mobo and it runs at 1ghz but crashes after winblows starts up :-D

Athlons excell in emulations for some reason.

Probably something to do with the massivly parallel out-of-order execution units, the branch prediction algorithm and caching scheme that AMD choose to use.
