Aros/Platforms/x86 Complete System HCL

Please bear in mind that AROS has hardware driver developers that you could count on a one or two hands, whilst Linux counts in the tens and Windows in the hundreds. So support is patchy at times but shows some improvement after 2005/6 for a few years. So consequently, be aware that drivers support on native is usually a few years or more behind linux, MacOS(TM) and Windows(TM).

Taking a random laptop / notebook you can expect the following from a Native install of AROS

Try to avoid certain dedicated discrete graphics options from Nvidia or Ati as the BGA solder joints or the chipset flip-flop nature tends to fail sooner or later. The latest AMD socketed APU may resolve this.

3D tests now conducted with apps found in Demos/AROS/Mesa and run at default size (may need to View As -> Show All to see them.

Most vendor suppliers get OEM (original equipment manufacturers) to make their laptops. These brand name companies purchase their laptops from an ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) such as Quanta, Compal, Wistron, Inventec, Foxconn (Hon Hai), Flextronics and Asus (now Pegatron) with together 80% market share and MiTAC, FIC, Arima, Uniwill, ECS and Clevo (remaining 20%).

One of the better options if re-partitioning of the hard disk is not suitable or wanted is to go with AROS hosted i.e. run a small linux distro and host AROS on top. AROS can exist on a Windows(TM) install as well. See here for more information Linux hosted and Windows hosted with downloads here AROS download page
installation needs an USB optical drive or an USB pen drive (see below)
PC with CD or DVD to install to a USB pendrive for boot purposes on a netbook
SD card sometimes can boot like Dell 2100, EeePC 1001P, ASUS EeePC 900, acer aspire one d150, MSI Wind U100,

Motherboard[edit]

...to the top

Since 2001, a growing number of motherboards (now a very large percentage) have added functionality implemented on the motherboard meaning that less PCI, AGP and PCI-E slots are now used or appear.

Most Intel Atom and equivalent AMD Fusion CPUs are faster than Intel P3s but still some way short of P4 or Dual Core performance.

Late 2002, USB2.0 added and slightly better AROS sound support (AC97) appeared
2002-2005 and still, to a limited extent, ongoing bad capacitors
Late 2003, ATX PSUs moved from 5V to 12v rails BEING IMPORTANT (extra 4pin on motherboard for CPU)

Late 2005, PCI Express replaced AGP and HDAudio replaced AC97
Late 2007, ATX PSUs added extra 12V PCI-E connectors and 4+4pin for CPUs
Late 2010, USB3.0 appears on motherboards or needing a PCI-E motherboard slot

Zen Am4 FM3 Summit Ridge (2017/1x)[edit]

Jim Keller’s group designed x86 Zen CPU - new same AM4 platform/socket for desktop

Zen will also shift from Bulldozer’s Clustered Multithreading (CMT) to Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT, aka Intel’s Hyperthreading). CMT is the basis for Bulldozer’s unusual combination of multiple integer cores sharing a single FPU within a module, so the move to SMT is a more “traditional” design for improving resource usage
