And I thought the Red/Blue trolling days were over.  :roll:

im neither. havent started used pegasos for a year, just tested that it boots a couple times.

@Hooligan

Aaaahh! I see - you were talking to Koafter!
Unless you put "@Koafter" at the beginning of your post, it is very confusing when your reply is several posts down the thread.
I thought your post was in response to the one from Matt_H (the post before yours).

Still, a bullet in the head seems a little harsh.  :lol:

If you got an Eifka with only 128mb ram.. I do beleave that he's right, that is to limited for daily use in my opinion.

Come on, dont take it so seriously  :-)

@RWO:

what do you use that requires more than 128megs ram?  What application just does not run with 128 or less??

Myself, I'll wait till the end of this month.  If it comes out then I'll buy it along w/an EFIKA.  128megs is much more ram than I need.  The EFIKA isnt designed to be a DESKTOP Amiga but it sure will whoop the crap out of one.

@Matt_H
of course i have heard about it, but i was just wondering why choosing it before  Aros or OS4? But you pretty much already answered my question.

The 128MB on the Efika are okay for much. Okay, the fancy stuff like Layers3D is better off with a bit more RAM. But even with  L3D enabled there's much to do with the Efika. Of course you hit a limit when you have Sputnik with dozens of tabs open. But if you think a bit about your resources the 128MB aren't a really big disadvantage. While of course no Teraflop-supercomputer, the Efika w/ MorphOS 2 is a really nice package.

Hi Folk,

I haven't looked at the Efika for some time, but I remember seeing the specs and thinking it would be a really decent, and affordable basis for an embedded system; it didn't really seem like a desktop computer.

I know MOS is meant to be lean and fast, but what are people's experiences like, using MOS Efika? Any beta testers here? Will MOS provide a very different experience from a light weight Linux? I use Xubuntu Linux, and though it aims at being fast, I find it only a bit faster than my other modern OS's.

Cheers,

Oli

@ Oliver

MorphOS on the Efika is no comparision to a lightweight Linux on the Efika. MorphOS on the Efika just flies.
Of course it cannot generate more cpu cycles from the cpu as there are, but it uses the cpu cycles pretty efficient.
The subjective speed on the Efika with MorphOS is close to the subjective speed of MorphOS on the Pegasos1, though the better ide interface of the Pegasos and the more powerful cpu coes into play when stressed more.
MorphOS on Efika feels some times faster than MorphOS on the Blizzard 603/200 ever felt and also it feels ways faster than WinUAE on my 2.6 GHz maschine.
