But I believe the AmigaONE is sans L2 cache as well, so its a fine comparison in this case.

Sorry, but you're wrong. Both the IBM 750 FX/CXe and Motorola's 7451 have an on-board L2 cache (doing a search on ibm.com and motorola.com turns up this info very quickly). AFAIK, the 7451 will also have an L3 cache.

Terrasoft's site looks to me as if it hasn't been fully updated, as there's no way they can sell the PX for the same prix as the CX and make money on it. They do have to eat, after all.

But I am.  The G4/800 listed there runs without an L3 cache, which makes it equal in performance to the G4/600 which, in non-Altivec mode, is nearly equal in performance to the G3-600.

ROTFL. And if you switch the power off on the G4, it runs infinitely slower than the G3.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the A1G4XE will have an L3 cache, and both Linux and AOS4 will make use of Altivec.

The OS4 enabler kit (to make a LinuxOne OS4
compatible, fully licenced etc.) is available for
160EUR from Vesalia. So for TS (if the price was
right) would be 660eur for a 64/800MHz Boxer with a
OS4 licence.

Except that the Boxer won't come with an OS4 licence.

Not forgetting that the update kit also comprises a new firmware chip, the extractor tool and a legal copy of OS4. Other commercial OSes cost more than 160 euros inc VAT for the OS alone, and you've already paid for the licence with your mobo, whether you wanted to or not.

Oh, and @ the guy that thinks it's OK to steal licences : apart from the fact that it's an awful lot of work just to save 160 euros, remember that the more software theft happens now, the more likely it is that the Amiga will die. Again, because piracy already helped kill it once.
I presume you like to be paid for the work you do? Why should you refuse to pay others for the work they do for you? If you don't like what they do, don't buy it. If you like what they do, don't steal it.

See the story of the goose that laid the golden eggs for further information.
