We need a new Articia...uuugghhh!

It wasn't too clear an article, something about 64 bit, then it said something like 32 bit compatable. I'll read through it again, unless someone can untangle their jargon a bit better.

Amiga! 32 to 64....uuugghhh!

So I guess that A500, 600, 1000, 2000, CDTV, CD32, are pure garbage then? Thanks for posting here.

I'm imagining things. It didn't say anything about 32 bits.

Part of "IBM eServer BladeCenter", translation: =$1300+ US for 1 CPU!!!

I guess we're just spinning our wheels on this one. :-(

In IBM article:
Prototype from the IBM Development Lab in Böblingen, Germany

Any certain one in Gremany want to do a "Moonlight Mission"?  :-o

Amiga! Why doesn't IBM just go ahead and make a 5 GHz G4 64 bit CPU, tell everyone it costs $5,000 US, then proceed to close down their company in the confidence of knowing they beat Intel!!!  :-(  :-(

@ Hattig
Now you know why your rent is so low, you live under an Ozone hole.

I'm so despondent because, look at the 800 MHz boards, what, 500 UK pounds=$1100 Canadian (approx.), so triple that (800*3= 2,400 MHz CPU, price approx. triple as well) AND it's 64 bit. No OS ready for it, and a circuit board is needed as well.

Amiga! When will we get equipment that isn't in the dark ages? :-(
