Two MiniITX A1's models are on the way, both G3. The first one is very similar to the "beta" versions that was sold earlier. The price for this one will be $600USD/500EUR, excluding VAT. The other version will also offer some more features such as Firewire, Gigabit Ethernet and an additional (custom?) PCI connector, and will cost $700USD/600EUR.

Two new µ-A1's models on the way : Comment 160 of 170 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 01-Sep-2004 09:28 GMT | In reply to Comment 156 (Anonymous): > Crippled in clockspeed, but it is faster clock for clock than a Motorola G4, although it lacks Altivec.
Isn't it a bit stupid to say "faster than the G4 if the G4 hadn't Altivec"? Because that means it is not faster. The Mini is faster than the Porsche if the Porsche turbo charger is ripped out. Duh. That Altivec speed kicks in when you really need it: a filter in a graphics program, video encoding, games, simulations. In the end, it all depends on what you do with the computer: Get a G3 if you are into programming and office use, it will work for you. But a video/graphics/multimedia/games enthusiast who bypassses the G4 and the 300% speed increase Altivec can provide on grounds of "the G3 is ten percent faster with integers" must be mad. |
