I tried to understand what is exactly an AmiONE.
I understand that is a Mac with other processor, it is true ?

"AmigaOne" is a trademark used by Eyetech when they sell Mai Logic's Teron motherboards.

Still having the Amiga´s custom chips (Agnus, etc.) ?

No. There is no more "Amiga" hardware, as in custom hardware, or hardware designed for AmigaOS or with AmigaOS in mind.

Beginning with version 4, AmigaOS will finally run on third party hardware, like computers built with those Teron/"AmigaOne" motherboards.

I work with a Mac G4 800 and runs great (I love the machine, and I love it more when I compare it to a peeceee).
Is the AmiONE better than my Mac in OS/Hardware ?
And compared with a Silicon Graphics machine?

The performance of a Teron PX ("AmigaOne XE"), when equipped with a 800MHz G4 CPU, should be comparable to the Mac you use today. See the specs on Mai's or Eyetech's sites, linked to above.

It can't be compared to currently produced Apple or SGI hardware.

@cgutjahr,

"Seehund's great campaign to turn every AmigaOne thread into mud-slinging"

Sorry, what are you talking about?

I replied to scannercf's questions with facts and links. There's no subjective opinion of mine or anybody else in my reply. Maybe the single word "finally" is subjective, but I didn't expect to be flamed for expressing something positive for once.

If there's something that's incorrect in my reply, I'm sure scannercf would appreciate if you corrected it.

To me it looks like you're reading something that's not there, but you expect it to be there, just because you're used to see me ranting...
