Well before i maked the choice i searched for revieuws of the sam 460ex with os 4.1 audio video whats supported and what going on in development.
this was very pleasant to read and see on youtube and mailed with the guys from acube to make sure.
important to me was the audio thats working now even its a beta driver.
and the choice of a Sam system with 460ex board didnt saved me money.
about os 4 i had a working ppc classic system before my ppc cpu died on me,
but i'll let you guys know more about the x500 as soon i recieved it but it will take a while.
