Please keep in mind that
AMD or Intel waste their effort in supplying us
with such processors. 766 MHz is not such a big difference over 733 MHz. Even without taking into
account the other components of a system, 733 is 4.5% increase. I think that these companies should
direct their efforts towards improving bus speeds
and memory.
If we had a processor with 500 MHz speed but a
memory bandwidth of (let's say) 10 GB/sec, then
that would be speedy!!!
Why should I use any VM (let alone the Amiga one) for anything these days? Since most of the world uses MS Windows and/or Linux, there is no point in using a virtual machine, from either the developer's or the user's perspective :
-If I am a developer, I would have to invest time and money in learning how to use the new VM, with dubious results
-If I am an and user, I would not be interested in the technology behind the program; I would just use the fastest/most efficient program for my job
Why not poke away with GCC/Qt or Visual Studio or Qt on Windows directly? The end result would be better from any perspective :
-speed
-efficiency
-effort
etc.
Instead or using a platform's name(Amiga) to promote a VM product, why don't we all agree on a set of standard libraries for MS Windows and Linux ? That would mean portability between the two platforms. I am referring to those platforms because they are the main ones currently.
