Amiga & AROS "In a previous item, we described how the AmigaOS4.0 memory system works in terms of managing memory allocations from the top. However, there is more to allocating memory than that. The object caches of course work on memory that has already been mapped into the virtual memory space. But both the virtual address ranges, as well as the physical memory has to come from a source, too."

It's not about performance, it's about availability.

If OS4 would target say, VIAs Mini-ITX motherboards there wouldn't be a problem obtaining hardware nor would the OS4-devs have to support a myriad of hardware which is a commen misconception/argument against targetting an x86-architecture.
