>1.Since OS4 will have virtual memory, will it be struggling like Windoze does?

IIRC, OS4 uses SWAP only for data and it will be possible for an application to reserve non-swappable memory for critical data. So, in theory, OS4+apps should fly always...

>2.Will the machine boot up as fast as a 68030/50mhz A1200 I have now?

Do you use OS3.9?
It takes at about 21 seconds to warm-boot it, right?
About 40 seconds to cold-boot it?
(so does my A4k/060)

I bet A1 with OS4 boots in about 10 seconds (warm and cold).

>3.Will my Voodoo 3 3000 AGP card work for OS4 out of the package?

I'm 99% sure.

>4.Can you run previous PPC software onto OS4, like a PPC application for OS3.9 onto a new G3 cpu and OS4?

Yes.

>5.How much space will AmigaONE take up to install.

You mean how much will OS4 take. I bet it will take less than 50 MB.

>6.Will I be able to use Winmodems, like my USR 56k PCI internal WinModem?

NO!    (at least not initially)
