Commodore and Amiga were something original and different. Taking run of the mill PCs that don't do anything that any other PC on the market (from established vendors with real reputations and real support) can do and branding them Commodore/Amiga to play on the fond memories people have of the names from their early computing experiences (the "good old days" which most seem so eager to reclaim) for nothing but profit is very lame.

Bring on the original product, even if it's only a replica C64 case.  At least that'd show a bit more effort than doing some paperwork and ordering generic computers.


The original Commodore-Amiga delivered near cut-edge multimedia PC performance at affordable prices.

Why have specialized chipsets when you have the entire company(e.g. AMD or NVIDIA) specialized on doing one or two things i.e. designing high performance GPUs.

Btw, Intel SandyBridge (CGPU) has a GPU which beats AMD Radeon HD 5450. http://www.thinq.co.uk/2010/8/30/sandy-bridge-gpu-beats-radeon-hd-5450/

For Intel, designing GPUs are part of their tier-one focus.

To be balance, AMD has Ontario CGPU (Netbook targets) which delivers playable Alien vs Predator at DX11 effects (max details) and HD screen resolutions.

Agree on ALL accounts. I might add, anyone who thinks Linux-variants are for casual computer-user are deluded as well ;)
