I'm getting a bit worried... now the PC-words has Serial-ATA! They also has AGP 8x, DDR... And what do we get WHEN the AmigaOne gets released? A motherboard with SDRAM 133, AGP 2x, ATA100 IDE-controller. When it gets released it will be even more outdated then it was just recently. I know that AOS 4 is really fast and that the difference from the hardware of today is huge but still... I just want to tell a PeeeCeee user ****** you, my system is much cooler

True enough but given the current hardware limitations we face even this hardware change is a major leap forward, most Amiga users (myself included) are limited to the 68xxx series of cpus whilst others have PPC with max speeds of around 240 Mhz and an OS thats written for 68k.

To put it another way, my Amiga 1200 68030/50 with 10meg of ram boots quicker and generally feels better than my 1.2Ghz pc with 512mb of ram.  If the hyperions guys manage to keep the Amiga style with the new os (ie light on system resources) even the entry level G3 should move faster than a greased peanut  :-)
