my 2 cents worth
« on: April 11, 2007, 05:35:14 PM »
Ok, at the risk of being shot down  :roll:
I would think that the only cheap Amiga would be an Amiga based on what's available today: Intel hardware.
Let's face it, it's fast, available and relatively cheap.
I can build a reasonable dual-core Intel box for around 400-500 Euro's (without monitor/keyboard).
The only difficulty I see and that is a major one,
is the plethora of GFX cards, one of the reasons for the existence of DirectX. Also, chipsets have a tendency to "dissapear" after a while, leaving the question of support open.

Ok, now you can shoot me....(hiding away)

Oops. I think I did something wrong here.
This was supposed to be in reply to a topic called
"  What would you want the next Amiga to be?"

Can this be moved to that part ?

No, it was my not-so-bright brain at the time of posting that posted this as a new thread while it should have been a reply to another thread  :oops:  :oops:
