All I want (as a consumer) is a computer that will allow me to do some word prosessing, few spreadsheets, surf the net, and maybe watch a few DVDs, oh an play a few games. I don't need (as most people in the world don't) a 2GHz+ machine.
The other thing I want is a computer that doesn't sound as if it is about to take off by pumping more air through it then a jumbo jets engine.
When Intel/AMD can make me a CPU that doesn't need all that cooling (even at 600MHz an Intel/AMD CPU needs active cooling), I will be happy to buy another of thier products. Hopefully AmigaONE will take off with OS4.0 enough that some people will start to produce/port software and I will be happy. If it falls flat on its face then I will take a long hard look at an Apple. Don't get me wrong, the x86's are good CPUs, but in a home enviroment you don't need something in the corner making enough noise to rivial your vacum cleaner.
