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 258 of 281 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Jupp3 on 04-Sep-2004 06:58 GMT | In reply to Comment 250 (ehaines): >(not counting Altivec, which is mostly irrelevant for the Amiga scene at this point, which you well know). This isn't an opinion; go look at some benchmarks.
In the very first Amiga games the (at their time) nice Amiga custom chips were mostly irrelevant becouse many games were quite straight ports from the other platforms, and generally programmers didn't (yet) know how to use their full potential. (Of course that did change in the future, as we all know)
So, would (classic) Amiga have been better without the custom chips? Just becouse the first Amiga games didn't use hardwares full potential?
There's one thing that would make (and keep) Altivec support irrelevant - don't release hardware that supports it. (Sure some old Teron/A1 DO have G4, but are they still available / will they be in the future?) |
