If you want an Amiga to run OS4, then an A1200 with a BlizzardPPC should suffice, but I'd look for an A4000+CyberstormPPC instead.

I wasn't aware that the PPC Classic version of OS4 was released outside of a private beta. Unless you want to run lots of hardware-banging software seamlessly along with newer PPC software, it's hard to justify the cost of a CyberStormPPC. I've seen them go for about as much as a new AmigaOne (back when A1s were actually available new anyway).

There is no hardware which AmigaOS users are allowed to buy that uses DDR RAM and AGP 4-8x.

Technically they can buy whatever they want, they're just not allowed to install OS4 on any such machine.

Anyway, to answer the OPs question, I'd probably wait for either the ACK board or the new Troika board. Unfortunately, neither have announced release dates as of yet.
