Hi,

Since OS4 is now available on Pegasos2, it's time for real benchmark comparisons between OS4 & MOS on the very same hardware!

Now the world may know ;) No more talking...

Sounds a tad boring; prove me wrong if you will.

MOS and OS4 has been available for Classic for quite some time, so it's nothing new really.

Even after you have completed all your desired benchmarks, people will still prefer amiga OS4.1, or still prefer MorphOS. We are all deifferent in taste. I personally prefer GUI over shell, so I am sticking with Amiga OS4.1

and it was easier, and still is easier for a novice touse versus MorphOS IMHO. Yet again.

But, Aros also has some conflicts for me,like, to set up the network, it is a painful cmmand thingy, versus Amiga OS4.1, where you double click, and it practically tells you where to type what for the ISP.

Another thing I noticed while playing around recently.

A great thing is porting more easily morphOS program to AOS and AOS to MorphOS with users of PEGII computers.

Hope lots of MorphOS users have a pegII

I'm not interested in knowing which one you prefer but rather which one is performing the best, in which case... That's it.

I don't expect first version of OS4.1 for Peg2 to be optimized.

but a memory speed test won't hurt.

Ok, so you have to know what a default gateway is and where to put it and so on,
But at least we never run out of hardware

I can tell you from first hand experience:

Both are fast. :) I don't think you would be unhappy with either. Check out my YouTube videos...

@Manu

you did run out of hardware, PegII and PegI went out of production, before elfika was created.

I would rather like to see OS4 on PegII vs. OS4 on A1-XE.

The PegII has 1GHz G4 and DDR memory, right?
The XE has 800MHz G4 and very slow memory

it's not the first time i read that from you.... let me enlighten your ignorance...

MorphOS 2.2 has the most advanced desktop on all amiga OSes. Ambient cannot compare with the 15 years old workbench you still have on OS4, who can harldy suit modern needs.
Check some videos about ambient and its feature (i never use shell on mos, and i do often on OS4) instead of posting such nonsense. You may still prefer OS4 and i won't blame you for that, your taste, but please get more accurate information from the other side.

Is 2.2 the latest? His only experience is with 1.4 which I installed. And using 2.0 IIRC. BTW, upgrading from 1.4 to 2.0 is not a free upgrade is it?

He also installed 2.x. And it's free to test MorphOS2.x. If you are happy with it, you just register it.

I think that's exactly what was said, he actually agree's with you.
It's a matter of personal taste!!!

@Swoop

Also, MOS had real time 68k emulation before it was completed for OS 4.x and in fact is the first PPC OS for Amiga. But, also, Amiga OS 4.1 is the only official OS, so I would like to see it reversed - more MorphOS features coming to OS 4.x, or compatibility layer built in (not like OS4 emu or MOS emu, a real and official support)
so they actualy blend into one. I do not underestimate many of the MOS code being done, including some PPC software avail as PPC only to MOS (e.g. Voyager, Feeble Flies ...)

I believe on PegII both should run about the same speed since the CPU,RAM,IDE ... is the same. Even if at some points one prove to be faster it will not change the world.

You can compare operations in few programs that exist in MOS/OS4 versions but this is more matter of optimization, and it might be MOS could prove to be faster just because it has better optimized software for Peg.

68k emulation might be interesting point - Trance vs Petunia, but then again,
its hard to compare because its the same JIT optimization for G3/G4.

Comparing PegII OS 4/MOS to SAM or AmigaOne is also stupid
since they use different hardware components that can influence
speed (e.g. CPU speed, CPU type with SAM, different memory
and hard drive controllers).

Generaly, everyone is lucky with what he has got.
And I believe AmigaOS /MorphOS PPC native

Finally,
Amiga goes PowerPC

P.S.
Even the MOS did not have "Amiga Inc" it did had couple of
drop offs and returns (I believe original MOS team left
Genesi ... ). But a nice survivor !!!

As far as i know this specific statement is still under dispute on the court...

I don't know any optimizations in MorphOS which would be so much Pegasos specific to make really significant difference, apart from some G4 CPU optimizations, which are active on any platform with the same CPU (eg. Mac Mini). MorphOS is faster because it's faster. Period.

@Chain-Q

The court case is not about the legality of AmigaOS4.1, but the ownership. OS4.1 is still the only sanctioned PPC version of AmigaOS however you look at it.
