Why AmigaOne still use the old slow G4?

That's a start. :-)
(I would prefer the pegII or III myself)

Why IBM had to fire the employees, if their
products are faster and better than Intel CPUs?

If fewer people buy the CPU's they can't go employing a #### load of people. Intel can probably employ more because their CPU's are more popular.
Just logic, really.

So, let me just ask you:

Is "DIABLO_NEGRO" like a stupid sheep?

no, it only means "Black devil"...

I guess you were thinking in "Black sheep"/"oveja negra" but the meaning in spanish is not to refer to somebody stupid but somebody who is different or doesn't do the same as others
:lol: I had a fair idea of what it ment ;-)

I was actually refering to the poster(an amiga.org member) ;-)

I agree with Wain.

Even Intel know that the x86 is soon dead.

I would prefer a platform that is using a modern RISC CPU(the PPC is only 10 years old).

You will either upgrade your computer platform now, or wait 5-10 years when Intel and AMD say "Nope! That's enough! We're going on with another architecture.

If you're worrying about these machines not using the old x86 hardware then you're not thinking about the long term future enough.
