This all sounds well and good, and I would crawl on my belly naked over broken glass to have one of these inside an Amione... however...

With the current amione using a G3 it seems pointless to have so much graphics power as it simply won't be used...

Also can someone explain to me what 3d drivers does the Amiga currently use (we obviously can't have directx, what about opengl?) and will they take full advantage of these new cards?

I know some people are using voodoo chipsets so I guess thats under opengl and not glide.

Regards

AGP 2x deliveres a bandwidth of 528mb/sec, My point wasn't to do with the AGP but with the processor, is 600mhz going to be fast enough to keep up with this monster (and before someone tells me off for quoting clock speeds... I know, I just think they should have started off at 1ghz)
