The ultimate Amiga One (what it should be)

The ulimate Amiga one deserves better hardware, like it or not the ppc/g-series is hardly what we shold be depending on. The Athlon 64/Opteron is the future even Intel has adopted AMD64 for its future instruction set, and as for speed the 64 is faster than cpus with almost 2 times the speed.
    I worry that by going with the g-series the Amiga has chosen a loosing horse. If you think this is a raw speed choice when I say the 64 I would argue against that, the 64 is quite elegant do some research if you arent familiar with it. The 64 uses less power than the intel making it ideal for laptops and has the 64 bit instruction set, and its cheap at 200 bucks for the 3200. If I had my way the new Amiga would look like this. The parts listed below could be purchased from the pomona computer show for around 1,500 bucks (I actually just built this rig to run XP) so price is not a problem.

Athlon 64-3400
1 gig DDR 400 ram
2 WD Raptor 74 gig 10,000 rpm serial ata hd's in raid 0
1 WD 160 gig 7200 rpm hd for mass storage
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro or ATI X800 video card
Sound Blaster Audigy sound card
52x cd burner
8x dvd burner
Full tower with 450 watt ps
21 inch monitor (viewsonic etc) flatpanels still arent good for games due to slow refresh rates.

Do I hear cursing in the church?
Where's the custom chipset? where's the dedicated h/w? where's the Motorola chips? Where are the innovative attributes?

Ok, lets start.

Dual G4 @ 1,5 or more
1 GB of DDR ram
On board gfx card (something from ATI of course) with its own memory

Did you actually knew that the Atari Jaguar contains as CPU only a M68000 clocked at 13 mhz and 2Mb memory, doing approximately the same as a high-end 486 (clocked at 66-100 Mhz) with 16Mb memory?
