| Posted by Nian on 21-Feb-2002 00:22 GMT | Did someone say that the standard PPC amiga will be a G3 400mhz? Pft! Thats pathetic and can lick my ball sack. If were quoting 1000euro for a bottom of the line PPC amiga then you should all be shot out of mercy, The greatest all time problem the amiga has had is the mindset "We don't need as big a cpu because amigaos is so efficient." Bollocks! Sure amigaos will only use 5% of the cpu but then your lacking the real grunt to do heavy duty rendering / number crunching / games / java.... Realy the amiga deserves to get the biggest cpu you can get. and when the 1Ghz G4 is several times more expensive than the Athlon1800 and is still slightly slower. Well bugger that!
I use to love PPC, I swore by it every day to my friends. But sadly its not been
developed enough, its slow and too expensive. Perhaps if it was half the price and 50% faster it would be a great thing again to get, but at the moment its a nice design but out of most peoples league. It sorrows me that x86 is the only serious system for the masses but its the price we pay for 2 bankruptsies and a moth ridden sale. perhaps in time the amiga can become a great system again but let me ask you one simple question. Why can't the AmigaONE use a x86 cpu instead of the PPC? Sure the mobo with all its connections and ideas is nice. Hell having an a1200 stuck to it is kewl. but is it realy that hard to just use an Athlon as the cpu and not a PPC? We havn't made much PPC software Noone would cry much if they lost those apps/games. 68k emulation can run on anything so who has the stubborn self destruction suicidal desire to go ppc or bust? |
