Amigaworld.net is currently down due to hard drive failure.
Everything possible is being done to return the site to normal, however we are unable to give an ETA at this time.
In the meantime, the Amigaworld IRC network continues to function via the remaining US and European Amigaworld Servers
They are:-
UK.Amigaworld.Net
US2.Amigaworld.Net
NO.Amigaworld.Net
Updates will continue to be posted here as and when we know.

Amigaworld.net down : Comment 141 of 281 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 03-Sep-2004 13:46 GMT | In reply to Comment 120 (Anonymous): There's the inherent problem that a G3 isn't just one G3, it's at least 4 different models, the 750Cxe, 750CX, 750FX and 750GX and in perhaps in the future a 750VX. Not all of them have the same amount of cache, the same clockrate of the cache memory and so on and so on.
Same goes for the G4, there isn't just one G4, there are various models with various amounts of cache and so forth named the 7441, 7445, 7447, 7447A and probably yet more models. Comparing a G3 and G4 is like comparing apples and oranges. This and that G3 model might be faster at the same clockrate as some other model G4.
Anyway, I won't let this conversation drag into some stupid debate about whether IBM or Motorola are doing a better job optimizing pipe lines and cache sizes, it's like arguing whether an AMD CPU at 2.0Ghz is better than a P4 at 2.6 Ghz. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't, depends on software, the os you run on it, the motherboard you have, the amount of ram you have, the speed of the ram you have and yet other factors. Same applies for this. |
