@cavemann I left 1.4 under QEmu because I already had it set, just that. Haven't used it more really. GeForce4 is working fine for desktop stuff: text editing, pdf reading, window moving and resizing and such things. Also watching avi movies windowed or fullscreen with mplayer is very smooth. Haven't tried games. But here is some fps info from mesa demos. Gears ~= 50 fps Tunnel ~= 5.45 fps Gearbox ~= 2.1 fps Reflect ~= 27.2 And result from GLMark: Enter screen width: 800 Enter screen height: 600 Enter screen bpp: 8 Enter '1' for fullscreen '0' for windowed: 0 =================================================== OpenGL Information GL_VENDOR: VMware, Inc.

@cavemann: Nope. Simply this time I'd no time to test (I used a little every 1.5 wip but not extensively), so I waited 1.5 became the more stable 1.5.1 and installed it:)

I see you guys are running both Icaros 1.5.1 and 1.4.x. My question is why run 1.4.x ? Are you having a problem the new kernel or graphics in 1.5.1 ? @ emeck How is the GeForce4 working out with Aros?

you are correct trans. 64 bit is not happening for 'normal' (ABIv0) AROS. so that would be a problem to begin with. All (released) software is ABIv0. Also please note that even if you are able to stick in 4GB that AROS probably 'misses' the last 1GB because of 31-bit restriction. thank you for your posts btw. See PM for more details. regards,

Okay. I'll stick to 4GB then, at least it will save me ~$20 ! I looked into 64-bit AROS, but it looks as if, driver wise, that's just not happening :(

As you might be aware there are some restrictions to 32-bit systems (although there are some tricks to circumvent them), but in general and in particular for AROS (32-bit at least) it is restricted to 4GB of memory. Concerning harddrives, this depends on the filesystem being used. If i remember correctly sfs is capable of a maximum size of 127 (or was it 128) GB.

Is there a maximum amount of RAM AROS can use? Would 8GB be pointless? What about harddrives, are there partition size limits? I did a quick google for these things but came up empty, so I thought I'd just ask. Thanks.
