One AMD 750 MHz, 256 (used to be 384) megs of RAM, Running Windows XP. It's a good WinUAE machine.

Four x86 machines, all but one runs Linux only, the odd ball dual boots linux and M$32 for my online passion, Dark Ages of Camelot.  When I'm not playing DAoC, it's booted in Linux. Three of the four run SETI 24/7.  As soon as the AROS file corruption bug is worked out, I'll get a el cheapo x86 and let AROS run on that natively.

Possibly to find out what people are using their computers for nowadays.
Any new platform *should* have an idea of what it's potential users needs are. I think this post provides a good cross sampling of what people want or need.

Actually there is a point. :-)

What I really want to know is how relevant some IBM-PC content on this site is. And by the looks of things It's quite relevant.

Years ago, owning one of these beasts was a real 'no go' for Amiga users, I guess it was seen as 'sleeping with the devil'
Now however, it has become not only much more acceptable, but quite common place too.
Using some OS other than AmigaOS(+AROS, MorphOS), has basically become nessecary, just to do many modern operations.

Amiga users are greatly helped by having some other more mainstream computer. Heck, I can't even access amiga.org properly using aweb!

You would find very few Amiga users who don't have at least one x86 system I believe.
:-)
IMHO folks.

You're also refering to the peak of the Amiga / Atari / PC / Mac wars... Before the creation of NCSA Mosaic, when the BBS was king!

Ahh memories...

I have an old 486 I don't use, if that's ok?

And I have non-Amiga powerpc hardware running Linux. Why no question about that?

My main computer is the AmigaOne.

Just a Pegasos/MorphOS (main machine) and an Amiga4000/060/CGX/AOS3.1 (secondary machine). For games a PS2.

Further an Amiga600/AOS2.04, Amiga1200/030/AOS3.1, an 80C88 laptop/DR-DOS 5.0  and a PSX in the cabinet.

Yup, I have two of the b*ggers. One PIII 600Mhz running win98 for internet purposes, and a laptop-thingy that I can't remember the name of running freebsd and/or anything else I think is fascinating right then and there.

Ol' faithful (A1200/030-50) is used for designing graphics and stuff for my website, and serving as a drum machine when friends come over to jam  :-)

Yep, I have a high end machine for my work (video editing) running XP, and thats all it's used for.


Please can you define "hi end machine" used for NLE?

Thanx
