Hi and Welcome !
I just want to point that there is an alternative to the OS4. As you
are "back" you may don't know it.
There is MorphOS and the Pegasos.
But what's that ??!!!
Pegasos: MicroATX PowerPC motherboard designed by bPlan (ex Phase 5).
Rev1: use the ArticiaS chipset with a patch named April.
For some reasons, bPlan decided to choose another chip named "Marvell
Discovery II" for the Pegasos II which is about to be release.
the Pegasos II feature are nearly the same than the Peg I but
- faster RAM (DDR)
- working NB
- Gb Ethernet
- faster NB

phase 5 team. It's already working and ship with Pegasos computer.
From an user point of view, it really looks like to the AmigaOS but
much nicer (32bit deskop, skinable ...), moreover you don't need any
patch.

www.aps.fr/morphos/ and on
http://www.morphzone.orgGenesi: It's the company which design, make and distributed the
Pegasos computer and develop MorphOS.
I hope to have been clear.
About 3D gaming: Well, would be nice to play to HL2! Give me the
sources and I spent all my time night and day to port it !!!
But in the meantime, I can play to Quake II in 1024*768 at 60 fps on
my Pegasos I with a Voodoo 3 on MorphOS. (not bad !!).
Feel free to ask more question about it if you wish
Bye
