Hi Elwood,
If the CPU in an Amiga requests any byte from the 2 gigs of ram it can control, it receives the result immediately, while on the win*-dos mechanism (sic), is it the same? With the MMU, MP and the 640 K barrier, and even then, didn't it have a maximum of 16 megs (win 3.11) originally too? (Maybe at 4.77 MHz it didn't matter if it took a bit of extra time as the CPU was slow anyway.)
What was maximum ram capacity of win95? And virtual memory? And, Amiga not having VM, so what? Big deal. It was STILL the
best OS.
You see, IF WE HAD the
same speed CPU (and subsystems) as they do, we would, a) run circles around them, b) kick them to the curb, c) they wouldn't even be considered competition, it would be a SO futile and pathetic showing by them.
Imagine a pure 68 K AOS weighing in at 12-30 Megs doing MORE than vista! So small, it could fit in a BIOS chip! NO program over 1 Meg in size!!!!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!
