AmigaONE X2000

I'm still not getting why they bother with dual-core when OS4 doesn't support SMP?

AROS supports SMP? How do they manage that stably without memory protection?

[commodorejohn]

Now that it has been brought up, is there any reason not to go x86 anymore?

Sure: it's boring, ugly crap, and they'd lose a lot of performance relative to modern-ish PPC CPUs by having to run all the existing PPC software in emulation. Additionally, AROS already exists, so it's not like the world needs another of it.

Now, as to all the other questionable design decisions (no Altivec? Seriously? And tacking on useless Xena stuff again? And making a new board when they don't even properly support half the existing ones?) I got nothin'.

I used to think the same, not anymore though.  At least not to the severe extent most would think so anyway.

I'm curious: how would you go about it?
