That might be a deciding factor for me.  Planned obsolesence is part of the game in the x86 world, but the stakes aren't as high.


I would say, the X5000 has enough expansion possibilities with the PCI-x slots...

Are they PCI-X or PCI-E? I hope they are not PCI-X, its not supported by anyone now from what I understand since PCI-E more or less took over.

I am very interested in the X5000, but as I mentioned the hardware support that is missing is very troubling to me to consider it still.


You are right, it is the PCI-express type.

Can anyone take the above post Seriously?
They say you should never feed a troll but the fact he has accused me of being too old to appreciate things when according to an interview in 2016 with Obligement he listed himself as 42 which makes him at least 3-4 years of than me....


Ill stick with my original truism that the biggest moaners are those who have never set eyes on the machine or actually don't use it on a day to day basis rather than resort to trolling and personal insults.

Btw this was posted from Odyssey on an X5000 which works pretty well with Javascript switched on and with a what some people would consider a sluggish 38MB fibre connection.  It's a huge  and noticeable difference from the previous Sam 460 set up I was using....


He has a point that the cpu of the X5000 is not very fast compared to other platforms, but
If the cpu is the criterium he would never recommend buying a Mac as there are much cheaper alternatives.

We want to run AmigaOS and the X5000 is the best there is.
