"8,800 MIPS at 2.0 GHz is about where the leading Pentium processors were back in 2003."
So its as fast as a computer I picked out of the trash recently, a dell pentium 2ghz machine...
Amd has new 64 bit 3ghz chips with 6 and 8 cores that will cost 300$ for 6 cores or 400$ for 8 cores, and remember thats brand new bleading edge tech price. 18 months after release, they will be half that price.
I sure don't see an x1000 in my future, I'd rather for 900$ buy a new linux box with 8 processing cores,12 gigs of ram and 2 terrabytes of hard drives.
For the same 900$ I can buy a sam board and run amiga os on hardware thats slower than 10 year old pc hardware. I just don't see the whole lets stick with ppc, its just retarded at this point, in my view anyhow.
Even people like me who are huge amiga fans can not justify the expense based on how outdated the hardware is. They are killing any chances it had by offering substandard slow ass hugely inflated priced hardware.
