When you have enough memory you do not need VM (even on Windows). 64bit support is in the works and memory protection too (but I am not one of the "system developers")

Open a thesaurus.

Today, I would not use my A1200 even with new CPU card as main computer, it has its age and deserves some rest. However, I would probably consider buying semi-modern PowerPC card to run OS4, only to have it inside. For real work I use other computers.

who talks of using it as a main computer? but if you consider a computer that gets turned on almost every day for few hours, then my a4k is one of my main computers. i dont give it rest, why should i? instead you could use aros probably as main computer as much as an os4 machine or more, but it exceeds my current interest to be honest.

Sure, and X1000 will be sold for 100 USD.


...then I would buy 10 (2 for me and 8 for my friends)

@pavlor

well 64bit aros version is there:
http://aros.sourceforge.net/de/download.php
i have not tried it out but its there for ages and its being worked on, or what do you mean?

what concerns memory protection, most of crashes that i experience on aros are likely due to aros bugs or incompatibility, but it isnt that easy meanwhile to bring the system down. mostly you can suspend the offending application via requester, similarly to gream ripper i guess.

REALLY? Then I will buy a bunch of X1000 for my business.

even then you will need at least basic productivity software to run on it. and im not sure if 68k applications count.

@aros 64bit + memoryprotection offtopic matter

Any study material on how aros will be taken to 64bit+SMP+MP future?

(IMHO, it should be the main branch, even if it would mean ditching current 68k + ARM and PPC flavours. No need to build more shackles to past, other flavours have enough already.)

There are AmiCygnix apps (AbiWord, Gnumeric, Gimp) and of course Linux.

It's in the ABIv1 branch. How it will be implemented only time will tell.

yeah, i did know that you will come up with that too. it was told a thousand times, but somehow it gets ignored all the time: so why on earth do you need a costly, slow and hardly supported machine to run the few (clumsy by itself, i know gimp) linux applications even slower because on emulation. you can buy x86 linux machine for the fraction of price and have access to a vaste amout of software that will never be available on ppc let alone any amiga brand, let alone os4 amicygnix..

@Phantom

and what business do you run?

@Phantom

nice price-drop

@wawa

I'm sorry, but I can't say more.

AmiCygnix is not emulation.

For 100 USD even X1000 would be atractive.

And of course, why use AROS when Windows offers all applications you need?

@pavlor

Why use AOS (3.1./3.9./4.1 or 25) when you can use Windows?

I´m AmigaOS user not Windows user. I will use AmigaOS until it is possible.

@pavlor

Yes me too . But I define "Amiga" a little wider than you (and not connected to 68k/PPC)

Oh interesting... you write "AmigaOS"-User and not "Amiga"-User. So you are not a amigian but a amigosian?
