| The Sam460's PCI-Express bus should provide amazing speed *once* we have the drivers (2D & 3D) to support it. The AmigaOne's AGP slot will suck by comparison. Add on the (already) faster CPU & RAM, and it should definltey run many things faster (unless compared to our few G4 Altivec-optimised apps). Last edited by ChrisH on 22-May-2011 at 11:34 AM.

Hmmm, that should be around £750 (inc VAT but excl shipping) |
Given that I originally paid £440 for just a bare Sam440ep motherboard (no case, psu, HD, etc) that is an amazingly good price. Well done ACube! _________________ Author of the PortablE programming language. It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue...

PPC440/460 extra DSP instructions |
Wasn't it IBM's 465 which has any DSP instructions ? AMCC 460 is basicly AMCC 440 core which doesn't have any DSP instructions, if I remember. _________________ Rock lobster bit me.

I think also 440 should have some.
