Amiga's real strategy is to target everything in sight with the DE.  Those of us who are really keen will carry on the by now 'traditional' Amiga association by buying PPC hardware; others will use x86.  

For most tasks a PPC box with low power cosumption and heat-output will sit just fine, running all the common household apps.  For those that really want to produce 3D animation in realtime, go ahead and buy a fast x86 box.

Personally, I don't need to use Schumacher's F1 car to take the kids to school, my family saloon will do fine.

And if you want to compare costs, don't forget to include the cost of runnig the power-hungry x86 and all the fans you need to cool it.  For Amiga's connectivity vision to work, your main box will need to be switched on 24/7.  That's a lot of power for a wintel box.

Oh, and the PPC chips in the GameCube seem cheap enough and fast enough to run games on ;)
