1ghz? sigh....PCI VIDEO WTF? sigh....DDR RAM sigh... you wont get my money.. not with decade old Hardware.
I think people too often look to hardware specs first, and then don't consider what those specs may produce as final results. A DDR1 memory driven architecture with a 1 GHz CPU won't be slower than a DDR2 with a 667 MHz CPU and, maybe I'm wrong, but I don't remember of other Amiga architectures using DDR2 or DDR3, apart my AROS machine (that's not 'exactly' an Amiga for most people).
The problem with ageing hardware, however, is not efficiency but ease to buy. I can't understand why Amiga hardware developer still rely on damn PCI video cards: they are difficult to spot, technologically dead and more costy than the lower-price, entry level average PCI Express card. Even AGP is dead. Maybe creating the logic for a PCI to PCI-E bridge, needed to drive communications between CPU and video would add a cost, and maybe is not feasible, but users would be really more happy if they could afford a 40 euro Radeon HD2400/3400/4500 card and place it into their Amiga systems.
Not counting how difficult is to spot a value DDR1 module of 512MB or 1GB size.
