I don't see how having X has amiga UI would be brilliant at all. X is the worst thing in linux, and bringing it and its apps to amiga would only alienate it (at least if it was used as the default windowing system).

But anyway, it's very unlikely to be that (fortunately).

X is what drives the linux UI without it Gnome nor KDE or other would not work. X is accessible from any device running another x server. if the amiga OS had an X server wow is all i would say, my 1200ppc would be out of the dusty cupboard immediately.

[Boudicca]

It has several.

I'll eat my words, and say a "modern" x gui instead

[Boudicca]

As reported on Moobunny.

X is hardware it seems. As reported on Moob:

Wow.....Right best get rid if my 1200ppc before its worthless junk. Again !

Hmmm... interesting document. Definitely hardware. But, if it ain't x86, then it'd better be Xbox or PS3, 'cause, I doubt they're gonna sell too many of them otherwise.

But we will wait, and we will see...

I find it kind of amusing that that this document lists Trevor, Anthony and Ben's birthdays... is this normal for Belgian law? Or is it a European thing?

Hmmm... Ex Box... or am I thinking blasphemy here?

Who cares. Cheap supportable hardware or bust!

Probably bust...

Oeerr you might be onto something there......that would be cool 3 cores and fan noise. At least mine hasn't had the red ring of death yet and by golly there is a lot of em about.

I'd join Xbox live for that............Forget Assassins Creed 2....give me a proper joystick and Another World!, Lemmings.....me would be a happy bunny.

It's PowerPC, 4 x SATA, two PCIe x16, three PCIe x1, two legacy PCI 33 Mhz, 8 x USB, Gigabit Ethernet, 'at least' 4GB RAM, Xorro, and Xena

I'm in love !.....Credit Card Waiting........gimme it now !

[Boudicca]

Sho' thing!

Now wait! In the far corner you can just about make out "AmigaOne Power X" - so that's what it'll be called.:idea:

Finally a 21st Century Amiga..........Get in there !

[Boudicca]

I'm flattered, but I don't work Sundays! ;P

For one of those with the word Amiga on it, its probably worth loosing a sunday

[Boudicca]

Custom chip emulation I bet.

Sure looks that way......Looks like Socket PGA604 or LGA Socket 771,775 mounting holes tho

edit: 775 holes in that they are square on

[Boudicca]

Control yourself woman, you're becoming hysterical... *slap*

Dazed and recovers to say....Now thats what I call an Amiga covered in Chocolate. Win Win ! !

OMG.....Its a Revelation......Amiga Reborn a Champion.....and promptly faints

[Boudicca]

OIC. Well lets hope they tell us soon

Well I've ran out of fags hoping to get the low down on the board....Thats it going to shop...need nicotine

[Boudicca]

Just been reading up on the apple buyout. Even for apple, 278M USD is a hell of a lot of cash to spend on a fabless chip company just to close it down. I simply can't imagine what apple, having gone intel already, would want with 2GHz 64-bit PPC processors with a sub 20W power draw...

*cough*appletv*cough*

Don't you mean Apple Tablet Cough!

Ok, speculating in a different direction, the area for the CPU seems to have the standard mountings for some fairly heavy duty cooling, which a high-efficiency CPU probably wouldn't need anyway. So maybe we are barking up the wrong tree all together...

Your slow i said that 30 posts back look like 775 mounts.....big cooler basically

[Boudicca]

CPU ?

Xenon !

[Boudicca]

Sure but it isn't likely to be a socket 775, now is it? After all, other than intel, who uses them?

775 mounting allows using 775 fans which are so plentiful....its worth the effort
