I think it's exciting and an Amiga angle because when McEwen said they'd be announcing OS4 and then a board that could run it in the new year it seems likely that this is that board.

Well the GC gfx chip has some interesting features, but compared to a Radeon 9000 even the mobile one it takes quite a beating. Not to mention the odd hardware bugs in the GC and Wii versions of the chip that prevent 8888 framebuffer format, perspective correct color iterator (nasty issue) and a near useless clipper. Plus the GC and Wii have a segmented and fixed size memory architecture that probably saves Ninty more money than it really helps developers.
Nah I think this board is plenty interesting, i'm saving for an Efika at the moment (and a house :crazy:) but a version of this is definately on my shopping list if it runs OS4.
:-D
