RedOne computer with Sam440

Thanks For The Upload.

do the new ones use a VGA port or do they still use the huge one?

[elwoodfr]

@copiga They use VGA and DVI (and USB, SATA....). The new Sam460 board even has two PCI-e slots.

A computer is designed for what you want it to do. ;-) You can do a lot of standard usage with the current Amiga: listening to music, playing DivX movies or browsing the web. Of course, you can't do everything you can do on other big systems (Win, Mac, Linux) as we don't have enough developers to move faster (yet?). May I suggest to look for "Why use AmigaOS 4 in 2009" on Youtube.

Also a Norvegian company uses AmigaOS to create an information channel. Look for "ferrule media" on the web.

I remember the Amiga OS, but thought it was obsolete. The computer seem to be new and the Amiga OS was good back in the 1980's when I last saw a machine with it. That was when Commodore was king in the personal computer business. The graphics was great on the Amiga then, and it must still be fantastic.

@semco72057 The old Amiga you know can be qualified as obsolete as it is too limited to do modern uses. The new Amiga computers like this one are far better. The use of DDR memory (up to 2GB), SATA harddrives and modern graphic cards allow you to have fun again. See videos on the web or read Amigans.net for more information...

Thanks for the up! Nice video. What disturbs me as an Amigan is the fact that the manufacturers haven't even considered making a backplate, thus, everyone's SAM has a huge openning from which dust (among other things) will enter the expensive equipment! That is no serious business they're doing, even the cheapest mobos sell with a metal backplate for the owner to use. What a shame! It indicates that they do not respect their customers...

[elwoodfr]

Hello, ACube did consider a backplate and are still considering one but this is not easy to do one at a right price.

The "cheapest mobo" you are talking about is probably sold at 10 millions copies. In this case, it's far easier to have a backplate too. ;-)

About respect, check comments all over the place. You'll see very few negative ones.

Nice video, please me some more showing AmigaOS4...maybe some chat programs, music players etc?

Your sam440 might be silent but the computer using that noisy, old harddrive in the background sounds awful

Reminds me of the noisy old IDE harddrives that thankfully got more silent when the improved the bearings in them

[elwoodfr]

If you hear a noise it's either the sound of my Sony camera or the hard disk of my PC which is near the RedOne.

I can hear the noise of the harddisk of my Sam only if I put the ear on the case :-)

Cool video, upload more.

The Chase is very nice, too.

Sans vouloir offenser personne, en tant qu'ancien amigaiste (A1260, genlock,lightwave,DSS, DCTV...), si c'est juste pour aller sur le net et regarder un DVD, ben je vois pas bien l'intéret de ces nouveaux amiga, alors je me dis que je dois ignorer des trucs: y a quoi comme logiciel pour faire de la 3D, du montage vidéo, de la musique, du dessin bref tout ce qui faisait la supériorité de l'amiga? le meilleur OS du monde vaut rien si il ya pas d'outils derrière... cordialement et respect.

[elwoodfr]

Tout est une question de choix. J'ai appris à apprécier le silence absolu alors que mon ordinateur fonctionne, ainsi que la consommation de 15 watts. Rien n'égale cela, même quand on a tous les outils du monde.
