Imagine having a ATI Radeon 9700 fully supported for AmigaOS and having ATI doing the drivers. That would be the day.
Don't want to ruin your day, but MorphOS has 2D support for Radeon cards up to 8500 (and somewhat beyond), and Radeon support for OS4 is evolving nicely too. Having 3D is just a matter of time as well.
Both AmigaONE and the Pegasos uses (except the motherboard and the CPU) cheap PC hardware parts.
And are VERY fast even on mediocre HW by today's standards, compared to either Win/Mac/Linux, even when 68K emulation is involved.
AmigaOS sure have drawbacks, and it takes effort and time to eliminate them, but on the other hand it has an excellent, I dare to say unmatched architecture.
IMHO of course :-)
