Seems a lot of Amiga users are accustomed to apologising for out-of-date hardware. The original Amiga blew the PCs of the time out of the water. The argument's always the same; AmigaOS is lean, you don't need all that extra speed.
But why limit yourself? As though AmigaOS is so lean that it takes anti-cycles to run, it wouldn't benefit at all and there are no applications in the emerging high-def world to take advantage of it?!
We're talking about a gigabyte of RAM as a maximum. You don't have to use it, but that's the most you'll ever be able to use with that board, period. And that's crap, by today's standards.
SATA - okay, but at least parallel ATA is still supported unlike the graphics slot which is two generations out of date, talking genuine back-to-back supersession.
Whoever said PPC @ 600MHz would beat a P4 @ 4GHz, well... Brand loyalty is doing a lot for you and Amigans in general, isn't it?! :-x
Two serial ports... Why?
Two gigabit ethernet ports. Erm. Did someone get a {bleep}load of I/O ICs on the cheap? I guess gigabit is nice. Perhaps this will be handy for downloading all the video you can't play.
Basically, you can shout naysayer, but with question marks over the delivery of the OS you can't blame buyers for wanting to be sure they can run an alternative OS on it at reasonable speed before investing.
