    The G4 in the mac mini has an internal bus at 167Mh. Because it's Dual Data Rate some sites INCORRECTLY report this as 333Mhz which is of course wrong. The "effective" RAM speed is 333Mhz, in the same way the Pegasos II has an "effective" RAM speed of 266Mhz (133Mhz bus). It is indeed better than the Pegasos, but only 25% faster, let's not get overjoyed here.


    ...and DDR533 of the the MPC8610 means that it has an "effective RAM speed" of 1066MHz, which is 320% of the Mac Mini RAM speed! :-)

    I have no experience whatsoever from the 8610, but I recall comments from the Genesi affiliated people over at powerdeveloper.org that has evaluated it quite thoroughly, that claims it's generally one of the best performing e600 CPU ever made. It's the newest/last of the e600 core CPU's, the peak of the evolution.

    Regarding connections, well for sure it would support 4 SATA2 ports, USB2 (USB3 if we find cheap controllers) and gigabit ethernet.


    Sounds good! :-)
    MorphOS is Amiga done right! :-)
    MorphOS NG will be AROS done right! :-)
