Now available is the first CPU upgrade card for the Pegasos. Taking advantage of the flexible, expandable and open architecture, Genesi is delivering a G4 upgrade card to take your computing experiences to the next level!
Pegasos G4 CPU Card
Now available is a processor card sporting the Motorola 7447 running at 1Ghz or more. The 7447 is the latest in the 4th generation (G4) PowerPC lineup from Motorola, offering an improved performance base over the previous generation (G3) series of processors. In addition to a larger cache, the 7447 offers more pipelines, an improved front side bus (FSB) and most of all, a SIMD unit called the Altivec. Altivec offers a dedicated on-chip vector engine, capable of delivering over a Gflops (billion floating point operations per second) while remaining affordable to the average user.
We have prepared a PDF document (4.7meg) describing many of the G4 processor's architectural benefits.
A small number of Pegasos 1 / April 2 systems are available with this G4 card for 499 Euros.
Please contact bbrv@genesi.lu if you are interested in this offer.

Genesi: Small number of Pegasos I / G4 available : Comment 39 of 117 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Alfred Schwarz on 16-Jul-2003 11:17 GMT | In reply to Comment 34 (David Scheibler): > There has been a very long and interesting discussion [...]
Yes it was, but I wouldn't say it was clear from the discussion that is - or is not - responsible for any problems.
For example Ralp Schmidt never answered to the question why Wintel boxes with the VIA can have problems when transferring data on the network and not from disk.
And Genesi/bplan still does not want to tell anything about the big number of bugs the Articia has or what the April1/2 fixes.
At the moment, nothing is proofen.
Facts are:
Pegasos1 has problems, with or without April1/2.
There are DMA problems on AmigaOne (at least with Linux, nothing else to test).
WIntel Boxes with same VIA chipset as AmigaOne have similar problems then the AmigaOne.
Pegasos1 and AmigaOne have similar DMA problems.
Not more, not less.
Ciao, Alfred |
