Alrighty then, so this Sam440 hardware, its mainly used for Running OS4 ?
What about Backwards compatibility ?, Specifically running legacy software/games ? Or will it need some sort of WinUAE equivalent ? It seems quite an expense for just the honor of running *JUST* OS4 |

hmmmm errrr what to do. Hardware prawn which can run os4.1 but I'm in two minds as my XP machine does exactly what I want...
It is cool though - I'll give it that. If I had the money I'd be very tempted. |

The question isn't what you can do with OS 4.1. The question is what you can do with OS 4.1 that you can't do with another modern OS, even a free one, on hardware that is way more powerful and can be purchased for a fraction of the cost.
OS 4.1 is a flight of fancy. Running it for the sake of running it is fine but if someone actually believes that's it's commercially viable or that the Amiga is going to make a comeback then they need to get some brain tonic from the government health. |

How does a 440 compare clock-for-clock with a G3 or G4? At 600 MHz, the 440 is finally starting to look like a viable replacement for the A1...

It talks about the 460 (not far from the 440, performance-wise). It is quite technically detailed, I think the guy knows what he says. Basically he says the price tag is excessive for some piece of obsolete hardware. http://goo.gl/3UDQZ |

How did this 2+ year old thread get dragged back to the present day? Are there really people out there that are just now learning what a SAM440ep/flex is?
