From a news-item at VGR.com it appears that the current Articia-northbridges might still have DMA-related problems:
"Mr. S.W. who sends over screen shots of newer AmigaOne 800mhz G4 hardware, has sent over 2 screen shots of the new A1 with G4 running 'amigaone xe/g4 7451 800mhz, excalibur radeon 9000 pro 64mb ddr ram, valueram kvr133x72rc3/256 kingston'. He wants to know '.. if other aone users have that problem as well..', 'it never outputs the same checksum with dma enabled when testing an iso file which is larger than the swap space used'
You can see the Radeon 9000 Pro screen shots here: DMA On & DMA Off."

Articia: Still DMA-problems? : Comment 76 of 122 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Remco komduur on 21-May-2003 18:24 GMT | This whole crap of find a problem and then kick the AmigaOne to the curb is beginning to get a bit irritating.
Every computer freak in the PC world knows there is a problem with the 686B. The first batch of Via "4in1" didn't fix this, the newer ones do. The fact Linux and Windows run quite good with the 686B is because THE BLOODY DRIVERS ARE PATCHED - TWITS!
I have two Thunderbird 1.4 GHz systems with completely identical hardware( with 686B) and software install and yet 1 machine does things just a bit better. And even then it's no big deal because when it pops up, it won't when running games.
DON'T LET THIS CRAP INFLUENCE YOUR CHOICE IN BUYING THE AMIGAONE. Go to any good PC hardware/software site and you will see that the problem is the 686B and that it needs a software patch to solve it.
They probably weren't able to fix this the software way for the Pegasos so that's their problem.
I WILL STILL BUY THE AMIGAONE!! |
