What is your next computer purchase?

[runequester]

minimig and then later on an amiga 1200

Got a new desktop computer a few months ago, and that should see me fine for the next few years

Would love to get an X1000 but lets see where that goes.

[kolla]

I just ordered some of these cabinets for my two A1200s running Linux/m68k

[Drummerboy]

For now  another A1000..

But  really, i hope any Laptop.. or  Netbook (i  dont  like  much, but..  anyway)..

[efrenmgp]

Lets see the final specs & price of the X1000, I would seriously consider that one, although I may need to sell my Pegasos 2, it all depends on the cost.

No need for a new PC and MAC is just not for me

Hey MskoDestny, how does Icaros Live run on your new PC? Must be pretty fast, have you tried the LiveDVD?

I lost interest in AROS quite a while back. I think a classic Amiga port of it would be interesting. With a bit of work, the hardware the Atari Coldfire Project is brewing up could be adapted for making a super classic Amiga of sorts (the work done on the Minimig should make that a bit easier). Using a port of AROS on such a machine rather than classic Amiga OS would reduce the overhead of the instruction emulation traps (since it could be compiled for Coldfire only old applications would trigger the traps) and make it easier to support all the hardware on the machine. Alas, I don't think anyone is even working on a classic port.

On x86, I don't see the point. If I wanted something simple and lightweight, but lacking in software there's Haiku and Syllable. Those have memory protection, resource tracking, SMP support and generally have a much more modern architecture.

My next box will be a used HP 7700 core 2 duo desktop running Win7... A snip at AU$250...

Whats next on your wishlist or budget with regards to computer purchases... give details.

The Intel Core i9 should be out any day.  It's 6 cores and 32nm process.  

Yeah, fire up 5 instances of WinUAE and assign each instance to a core.  (Have to leave the 6th core idle just to handle Winblows in the background)

[Everblue]

I guess... MorphOS for PowerMac G4

[Colani1200]

AMD Thuban system (hexacore) when it is available.

[Jiffy]

Four Western Digital RE3 of 1 TB each (raid 5) for my new server to replace the old one with two 250 GB drives (raid 1). I already have the rest of the hardware I need, including raid controller.

[Haranguer]

I'll be getting an X1000.  I was planning to get an Acer Aspire, but that can wait until I've got an X1000 ...

[Varthall]

A (quality) audio card for my AmigaOne XE to replace my Soundblaster, I still have to make a list of the cards supported by AHI. In the future, maybe a Bluray writer when the drives will be affordable.

In the future, maybe a Bluray writer when the drives will be affordable.

Those blu ray writers are becoming more affordable but I think I would rather spend the AU$300 on an SSD plus 1TB drive HDD combo. Unless you need to do presentations/education with it or something.


I'm saving my money. It's wait and see time again, lots of new stuff coming out, hopefully a classic compatible Amiga too.

[carvedeye]

my next purchase is an upgrade for my current pc which will be a core i7 mobo bundle cant wait. then once i get those parts i will be ebaying my old bits on ebay and will purchase the gtx 295.

[dammy]

Netbook will be my next purchase.  The laptop is just too much for on the go, I need something smaller and lighter.  If it gets banged up too much, it's cheap to replace.

[persia]

I am desperately awaiting the press conference on 27/01/10.  Please let it be a Mac tablet....
