I'd rather get the 460.

Seconded, the 440 is just too underpowered.

WHS 2011 is $50, OEM.

That's how I obtained Win7. Home Server can be had for even less upon occasion.

If AmigaOS 4 was available for x86, that came with a FPGA on a card to simulate 68k/ AGA chipset and 68k games ran seemless via the fpga ..
 
2ghz, 2GB, 500gb hd sata, usb x4, amd gfx card 1gb
 
priced at £299
 
Would you call it an Amiga ?
 
if not, seriously what form would it take.

Why would an FPGA be required?
AmigaForever runs fine on an X86.
 
Until OS4 supports SMP, I'd have a hard time justifying using it on an X86.
I haven't had an X86 with only one core in several years.
 
Would I call it an Amiga?
I'm so over that.

Oh, I don't know that we are all that fragmented.
Many software packages are ported across all three NG OS'.
And at least one MorphOS developer (Fab) has ported his work to the competition's platform.
 
As to any hostility that might exist, I don't think MorphOS users are actively hostile to AOS4.1 users.
There's just some lingering pains over some statements made in the past by Hyperion's management and contracted developers (which is funny because I use MorphOS to run their ports of QuakeII and Heretic).
 
Anyway, the bigger the base the better, so I'm open to anything.
 
Heck, I'm even considering building a 4000 to get back to legacy software.
 
Oh, and takemehomegrandma may have some strongly held opinions (which I occasionally disagree with), but he's a pretty sharp dude.
