	Risc PC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Risc PC augmented the ROM-based core OS with a disk-based directory structure containing configuration information, and some applications which had previously been kept in ROM.
		RISC OS 4 is available as a replacement for the Acorn-implemented versions which came fitted as standard.
		The front side bus is usually recognised as being the most significant fault of the computer; and the arrival of the (five times faster) StrongARM processor in 1996 meant that the Risc PC had a CPU vastly faster than that for which the computer had been designed.

		Risc PC's compatibility with existing software, coupled with a guaranteed low-cost processor upgrade path, and simple and effective expansion with industry standard memory and peripherals, ensures that existing and new Acorn customers have their investment protected for the future.
		Risc PC's phenomenal capabilities will also offer software developers an elegant and suppotive development platform, paving the way for a whole new generation of multimedia software development." Every Risc PC will be shipped with an application called !Products, a database giving users information about running existing RISC OS applications on the Risc PC.
		Risc PC can address up to 256MB of memory, and although current technology limits its physical memory to 128MB using commercially available DRAM, the Risc PC has more than enough RAM to load and manipulate the largest full-colour images and combine them with text, graphics, video and sound.

	The Icon Bar: Happy 10th Birthday Risc PC
		Today is the 10th birthday of the Risc PC computer which was announced on 16th April 1994 by Acorn Computers.
		The Risc PC marked an epoch in the computing world, providing a fast machine with the ultimate in expansion capabilities.
		Risc PCs were the flagship machine of the Acorn world until late 2002, and had many different upgrades that contributed to their longevity such as the StrongARM and Kinetic upgrades, and the viewfinder graphics card.

	The next generation - the RISC PC 600 (1994)
		A unique feature of the Risc PC range was the addition of a second processor slot that was capable of accepting a daughter board holding an "alien" (PC) processor, such as a 486 or 586 chip.
		This was an eight slice Risc PC, which featured such things as a sink located in the top slice, and a working grill that was used for cooking pizza.
		The Risc PC was launched in three different formats, and with two different monitor choices.

	CISC Vs. RISC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The term 'RISC' (short for Reduced Instruction Set Computer) was later coined by David Patterson, a teacher at the University of California in Berkeley.
		The RISC concept was used to simplify the design of the IBM PC/XT, and was later used in the IBM RISC System/6000 and Sun Microsystems' SPARC microprocessors.
		As the world enters the 21st century the CISC Vs. RISC arguments have been swept aside by the recognition that neither terms are accurate in their description.

	To Soup Up Their PC's, Speed Demons Take a RISC
		RISC stands for reduced instruction set computing, and RISC processors use a simple, highly optimized set of commands to achieve high performance at relatively low cost.
		But RISC was shut out of the far higher-volume PC business because Microsoft's dominant operating system software, DOS and Windows, worked only with Intel's conventional processors, or clones of them.
		Deskstation's Tyne series of RISC PC's starts at $2,995, with the average machine selling for about $6,000, including lots of memory, a big hard disk and a large color monitor.

		The Risc PC was Acorn Computer's next generation RISC OS/RISC Machine">Acorn RISC Machine computer, which superseded the the Acorn Archimedes.
		Variants of the Risc PC design are still sold today, but Risc PCs have reached the end of their production cycle with the advent of RISC OS computers based around the XScale ARM processor and PCI bus (namely the Iyonix PC).
		Significantly better performance has been pulled out of the aged Risc PC design by using the newer 302MHz StrongARM CPU, using third-party video cards, overclocking, and having specially-designed CPU cards with RAM located upon them to sidestep the speed bottleneck of the slow system bus.

	DIY Risc PC 16 bit sound upgrade
		For example, the Risc PC's motherboard SCSI controller and Phoebe's ultra-fast scratch memory were consigned to history before ever seeing the light of day.
		Another such casualty was the 16 bit sound system in the Risc PC, which was dropped on initial release to save a few pounds of parts.
		The 16 bit sound system in a Risc PC gives a sound output in digital format, which has to be fed to a DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter) to produce audio.

	About Acorn
		The abbreviation RISC (Reduces Instruction Set CPU) does not stand for the risk to get only the half of a processor, but means simplified, that in the processor instead of up to 2000 commands (most of them never get used) only the real important commands (about 30) are implemented.
		The Risc is also strong without the StrongARM, even a 30 Mhz Risc is quicklier and better at the moving of windows than the graphic artists' darling with 70 Mhz, and this is not claimed by me but an admirer and user of this darling.
		The programs of the Risc are shorter (but faster and more effective than comparable programs) and so they need much less space on the hard disk.

		Like RISC OS 3.6, RISC OS 3.7 is primarily changed behind the scenes and is an incremental improvement of the OS.
		As PC monitors typically start at a line rate of 30Khz compared to the TV broadcast modes (mode 12 etc.) that have a line rate of 15Khz, VIDC has to do more work to obtain a 30Khz line rate.
		However, as a PC monitor is designed to display 320 lines minimum then you will get a 'letterbox' effect as mode 12 has only 256 lines.

	Installing the RISC System to a Server
		RISC can and should run entirely from a fileserver with both the programs and data stored on the server’s hard disk.
		RISC resides in two main folders - a user-specified path for the programs, a path for RISC data that resides directly below the program path and paths for RISC Form Letters, Indexes, Photos, Saved Letters and Reports that are below the data path.
		Once the System Administrator has installed RISC onto the fileserver and the system has been configured, access should be given to the proposed RISC users.
