For personal computers, PowerPC is lying in its death bed. For servers, and consoles, it doing great, but neither are much use for us. So that leaves a few, specialist boards, which are released infrequently and cost a lot, and often have the Amiga aspect as a secondary reason to exist, behind a primary as an industrial control board, etc.

There are two potential future paths. x86 (might as well go straight to x86-64 and never deal with the crufty 32-bit stuff), or ARM.

I can only think how nice an AMD Brazos based mini-ITX board would be next year with AmigaOS. Single-chip dual-core CPU and Radeon HD graphics (not going to set the world alight, but cheap_)...

Or how about an ARM System-on-Chip? NVIDIA Tegra 2? TI OMAP? Marvell? Or dozens more ... these are getting to the dual-core, 1.5GHz+ arena now.

x86 sounds good at first, but then you will also need things like WINE and directx to boost the the software for it. Otherwise you will have to wait for people to port software. It means years before you can do anything with it. AROS is as good as it gets here.


So you would rather have ... NOTHING?
