| 1GHz Athlon released : Comment 29 of 32 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Brad Jacobsen on 14-Mar-2000 23:00 GMT | Hey, lets take it easy on Plain English. You may not agree with him but he does make some valid points,
points that should be debated, not just shouted down. It's people like him that help keep us attached
to the real world. I agree that a 1GHz Athlon will open a serious can of whoop-ass on any A3000. It won't
be pretty but in typical brute-force fashion, it would destroy any Amiga while running calculation intensive
applications, which are becoming more and more prevelant. Case in point, I enjoy working with my Amigas but
it is becoming more and more difficult to justify rendering animations on them. Takes so long that I find
myself not experimenting enough. (I really wish NewTek would make a PPC version of LightWave for the Amiga!)
Athlon is cheap and NOT Intel. Doesn't seem like a bad choice to run Elate/Amiga or NTO/Phoenix on. *I*
still prefer G3/G4 but I'll embrace anything that gives Intel a run for their money. |
