AFUA visited Thendic-France : Comment 17 of 629 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Frodon on 24-Apr-2002 17:28 GMT | In reply to Comment 14 (Samface): Hello,
I'm impressed by the misinterpretation you've made of my report ;-)
Of course i'm not impressed by the DivX as it's a G3 CPU even if DiVx don't play correctly on my classic Amiga. The workbench in the Thendic's Pegasos is simply the Workbench 3.9 of AmigaOS 3.9 and not what you'll be able to see in the retail version of MorphOS. As i said, the MorphOS which is at Thendic-France is quite old and with a lot of debugging options turned off.
The DivX movie was just to show you a brief idea of what you can expect as playing DivX movies require at least P2 at 400Mhz on PCs or G3 at 400/500Mhz on Macs. Thanks to the Softcinema author who made a MorphOS version it'll be possible to watch DivX encoded movies at full speed on the Pegasos.
CandyFactory Pro give also a good idea of the speed. Of course the best manner to judge the OS and Pegasos performances will be in daily uses but as i just visited Thendic-France i can't use the Pegasos daily ;)
The speed given by the G3 or G4 will be welcome anyway in the future because 040 or 060 Amigas are very slow for some stuffs like graphics manipulation, Pagestream...etc And the Pegasos will offer directly G3 and G4 choice when it'll be available and can be easily upgraded. MorphOS is a very good OS, i use it everyday on my PPC Amiga and i must say that it works very well (but slower than with the Pegasos ;) ). And as i've written in the report most of the GUI parts if not all will be native and with some great new features in the retail version.
Bye
