Opinions / Info - AmigaOS 4.x Systems

I'm getting all the bits for my x1000 tomorrow I would recommend a second hand Sam 440 first, though, as they're cheap and give a good idea of the OS. They're plenty fast enough for most uses, but too slow for hi-def video and the browsers are a bit sluggish... but if you find you like it you can then sell that without any loss, probably, and go up to the next level like a 460, or even an x1000 which is very expensive but very nice! And if you don't like it, you can still sell it and not lose anything.

+1, except I would recommend getting a Sam460 (aka AmigaONE 500) since it supports the latest HD cards and has more grunt for E-UAE stuff ie. heavier AGA games (mind you with the way Rachi is going with JIT this might not be an issue any more).

which ever OS4.x machine you get, I highly recommend getting a Catweasel to use all your old floppies using spirantho's awesome drivers here http://www.retroreview.com/iang/Catweasel/

The AmigaONE X1000 supports all the latest RadeonHD cards, has 7.1 digital HD sound in AmigaOS and features the fastest CPU available to AmigaOS 4.1.

The X1000 is soon going to have AMIStore app store launched for it and there are several other software developments arriving for it this year.  A-EON's focus this year is enabling more software for the X1000, its flagship product.

man that's great news since new hardware isn't a problem for us anymore

well I stand corrected cause it looks like the Samflex boards can in fact run some HD cards with a certain PCI to PCIe adapter, check here:http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=36053&forum=14
