Although I doubt we see many pci slots on the AmigaOne Lite due to its dimensions it would be nice to have a connector similar to the inlined with a pci one included in the Pegasos1. That way you would have the option of adding 3 pcis for example if you later decide to expand your machine with more cards... That would give you the best option: you need a Mini-ITX? no problem, you need a little more expansion? just plug in the optional pci slots and you have the option of adding more pci cards :-)
hey Alan Redhouse! are you reading this? ;-)
It would be great if IBM released the new G3 with VMX extensions... that way software written for the altivec of the G4 would work without problems...
I don't care if the cpu is soldered to the motherboard, most of people change it with each new cpu. A G3 with VMX and some kind of decent Radeon on-board, 5.1 sound, ethernet (if it's gigabit, then even better, the price of intel gigabit ethernet chips seems to be similar to 100mbit chips), and usb2 and serial-ata would be great :-)
a 1Ghz G3 without VMX would be nice but would waste the effort of making the AmigaOne a G4 based computer because if the Lite version doesn't include altivec, few apps will use it... so I would wait until IBM releases the G3 with VMX(aka altivec) to release the AmigaOne Lite...
