I have decided
« on: May 17, 2003, 11:07:16 PM »
After spending a few days looking at what G3 Macs were doing and re-evaluating my software, I ordered my G4 Amiga One yesterday.
Ain't no fool like an old fool.....
Now featuring new and improved G4 AmigaOne, with Mozilla!

@Marky_D_Sahd,

Off topic, just what is that smokey wisp infront of you in your avatar?

(at least I assume its you!)

Is there a nice, big cuban stokey just out of sight at the bottom? :-)

-edit-

I just had the awful thought that somewhere out there there's a similar picture of Monica Lewinsky....

Good choice!

The G3-xe is nice too, easier to overclock
iv'e heard. A guy on the mailing list is
clocking his at 933, and it's rock solid.

But this one (G4) is sharp enough!

 :-D

Be careful when choosing memory though,
they are a bit picky. I use Crucial256, reg, 2cl
and never had any problems but double check
before you buy...

I wish I could answer that question :-)

With some memory you can't run the FSB
at full speed, and with some nothing works,
It's not much of a problem if you are aware
of it before you buy memory though, just
check the compatibility list.

I should have my a1 soon as eyetech have cashed the check never had no problems with the before.

with regards to memory  they have updated the firmware so you can use any normal sdram  and dont have to have to have the ecc registered sd ram.
I once had an amigaone xe but sold it .

Good on ya Marky :-) . I too faced the Mac vs AmigaOne decision, finally settling for the A1.

Remember there is always MaconLinux ;-) .
