800Mhz A1G3XE the best choice than the 800Mhz A1G4XE?

The worst difference about both your and my system are that
i can Have OS4 Sooner than you,in fact,i ALREADY have it!

Mine only had 64Mb.But is an ATI itself,not a Powered by
Ati GFX card,what differences and how about performance at all?

Glad you asked, buddy:-) Made by ATI yes, but delivered by Crucial. 128MB yes, at 250Mhz clock speed with 128-bit DDR-memory...Not that bad at all..That's why it called 8500LE....:-)

I bought the powermagic one which is an ATI built 64MB version. only difference is that it runs at 250Mhz not 275Mhz. I read a review on the net and it runs fine overclocked at 275Mhz

I believe it's possible to overclock the graphic board, but it seems to risky..

Its a risk some people are willing to take.

I over clocked my Blizzard PPC from 240Mhz to 280Mhz by soldering in an Oscillator socket an putting a 70Mhz Oscillator in it from on-spec.

It recently sold again on amibench so its still doing the rounds and i did that back in 1999.

I wonder if the 800Mhz G4 will be over clockable.

Not that its worth attemping until the warranty is up.

FSB 133.33Mhz X 6 multiplier = 800Mhz
If you can change the multiplier to 7 it will gives you 933 Mhz or x 8 = 1066 Mhz

Damn! I hate when people do that ... uh ... now where's my heart medicine ...

Ok, now. .. are you betatesting the AOS4 parts on 68k or what ...

Should be too long before my A1G4XE should arrive... :-)  :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D

The dev G4's should be with developers this week.
1 week of testing should take us upto around 31/01/03.

Then full production should start according to alans posting.
So hopefully around 10/02/03 perhaps

Excellent! Should be very soon! About time! :-)  :-D

If this speed-similarity is the case, then i feel i should really consider the 800Mhz A1G3XE, because of the full 512KB L2-cache, and the CPU is from IBM. The 750FX G3 CPU is just 1 year old, being produced last year!

i had an ibm hard drive and what a load of crap that is just over a year old and not much good anyway the g4 is made by motorola and i have not had any problems with there stuff. The g4 has altivec which if os 4 uses would give it the edge over the g3 ?

If you take a look at the G4+ architecture, you'll find that Motorola has made a lot of improvements compared to the original G4 design.

That depends on what you mean by improvements.. Clock for clock the original G4 is faster than the G4+. Power requirements for the G4+ is also much higher compared to the original G4, even when adjusting for the higher clock speeds of the G4+.

I have a 21" Sony Trinitron, a nice Tower chassi and a CD burner. I also have a copy each of Freespace and Quake2 that  I cannot use (my A4000 has a distinct lack of PPC- and Gfx-cards).
 
...And that's all there is to my AOneXEG4 as of yet :-).
 
I'll start shopping when compatability lists are out.

what i want to know is:
will amigaOne boot from a SCSI HDD?
