The Pegasos is uses the same northbridge as the A1, is a standard VIA-model (one generation ahead of the one use in the A1).

Why is it "ahead"?

You wouldn't even survive a x86 mobo debate war IF this is your level evidence.

What is the difference between A1's VIA southbridge and Pegasos's VIA southbridge in term of feature set?

Is Pegasos's VIA southbridge on par with the mainstream VIA based x86 mobos*?  

*i.e. just using it as a point of reference since I do know "VT82C686B" and "VT8233A" feature set.

Please present the factual data to support your statements.

According to this web site

This prototype AmigaOne mobo seems to befitted with  the "VT82C686A".

==========================================
According to this web site;
http://www.bplan-gmbh.de/gfx/pegasos/side.jpg

This Pegasos mobo seems to befitted with  the VIA "VT8231"(picture quality is a bit fuzzy).

Should I continue?

I'll make  more observation later.

Refer to VIA's web site for the feature set

The northbridge is the same in Pegasos and A1 since AFAIK it is the only northbridge available for PPC.

Did you forget Escena's custom northbridge?

That's nowhere to be seen?

It was evaluated by Eyetech.

What any more PPC based PCs?

There is a few PPC vendors out there, I wonder IF AmigaInc/Hyperion has directly approached them in regards to building more AmigaOS/PPC based PC clones.

What PPC needs is a software overlord to guide this leaderless clone army.
