If it doesn't have a Paula chip on the motherboard it is nothing more than an AmigaOS compatible as far as I am concerned,

I always see you define an Amiga by something with "Paula", it always seems odd that it's just this chip that makes an Amiga for you?!

The AAA chipset did not have Paula, and most Amigans agree it shouldn't have been in AA either, as it was old-hat by the 90s.  

It was just a sound-processor, why choose that chip as the ultimate definition of "it's an Amiga"?  If Commodore did release AAA amigas would you have said they're not Amigas then, due to lack of Paula?

What about the other chips, was A600 not Amiga 'cos of no Gary?  Was A1200/4000 not Amiga due to no Agnus?

I don't this Paula or the system's sound capabilities were the main attraction/impressive feature for most people.
