The ulimate Amiga one deserves better hardware, like it or not the ppc/g-series is hardly what we shold be depending on.
I agree with the first part, but you're dead wrong on the second. G3 is nice, but lacks the clock speed to do high end workstation processing. Single or dual 2GHz G5 is more like it.
The Athlon 64/Opteron is the future even Intel has adopted AMD64 for its future instruction set, and as for speed the 64 is faster than cpus with almost 2 times the speed.
Huh? Intel has not adopted anything AMD for it's future. Intel has it's own 64bit products.
I worry that by going with the g-series the Amiga has chosen a loosing horse.
Then don't buy one, plain and simple. After all, Amiga is just a name, the AmigaOne has very little to do with the classic Amiga. But, if you want something different from the normal PC/x86 box then something like an AmigaOne or better yet Pegasos II is a nice alternative to a Mac.
