Sam440 and Hyperion's AOS4.x

@TrevorDick

I still can't help but get a chuckle when I read your AW sig:

Well I have considered to buy one for a long time but since recent events, I won't buy one now. I have stopped all investments in Amiga hardware. A lot must happen will I consider it again.

I already have a micro and an XE and the Sam440 won't add anything to these 2 machines. I'm also fed up with paying a load of money for systems that are not fast either. The 440 might be a nice board but in the end I want something that is fast and energy efficient.

@PulsatingQuasar

Are those two requirements congruent ?

@Outcast

They certainly aren't each others opposite.

Intels' Yorkfield stepping for the Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad is cutting down considerably on the energy consumption whilst being faster then it's Conroe predecessor.

And then look at the Mobile Core 2 Duo. The T7x00 series only take 34 Watts but these processors are very fast. I have a T7400 in my notebook. It's a great processor.

For a small energy friendly system which is still fast there are now also ITX motherboards by i.e. Jetway. Then put one of those Mobile Core 2 Duo CPU's on it and the system is energy efficient and fast.
