In reply to Comment 30 (jim):
Aaah! Sounds like you got bit by PeeCee compatability issues. This problem is not
unique to AMD products. I remember installing NT at work and running into "incompatable"
hardware on about 20% of our workstations. Rather basic ones at that. With the plethora
of mobos/chipsets/bios, U-Name-It-cards,.etc. there are going to be compatability problems.
Ugh.
Chalk one up for the Amiga! ;-)
As far as cheap goes, I was comparing Athlon to comparable PIIIs or G4 650MHz. (I confess that I
don't actually know the price of G4 650MHz.)
Upon reflection, while running under Elate, having the fastest state-of-the-art-neato chip
really won't be that important as I believe it will use distributive processing!
Just hook up all those old machines in a network and WEEEEEEE! Virtual UberProcessor!
Chalk another one up for Amiga!
I'm with ya jim, and I can't wait either!
Jump...
