Brand New Sam460ex

Interesting... Maybe I am reading too much into this, but no mention of OS4 license and availability for this board?

they didnt do it for the sam440 either, and look how that turned out

True. But now Hyperion has an in-house hardware project that this seems to compete directly with. Yeah, I know A-Eon is set up as a separate company but we can see who is behind it. While the dots have not been officially connected, it would seem the X1000 is the MAP Hyperion has hinted at.

I doubt we have to worry about license now that amiga inc is out of the picture. I am more curious about how long it will take to port it to this board.

It seems Hyperion has the right to do what they want with OS4 now, but will they?

I'm just speculating out loud here.

I guess you would be happy about the board being even more expensive to make up for the extra cost of the gfx chip? Graphics cards cost nothing these days and this board takes any pci express card with driver support. What kind of games do we have that would even take use of a high end graphics card?

I bet you would drool over this board if OS 4.1 was replaced with MorphOS instead...

I doubt it, MorphOS already supports Mac Mini up to 1.5Ghz and support for G4 power Macs up to 2Ghz is coming. Used Power Macs cost $20-$200.

-Edit-
Let me make it clear that I have nothing against Acube and wish them nothing but the best. I would have to guess they must have an industrial customer to keep them alive...

Irrespective of my or anyone else's opinions of Hyperion, what do they have to do with the X1000? Apart from one guy from them been a partner in Aeon.

Read this rant.

You do not have the slightest clue as to what you are talking about. For  what it is worth: WE are the X-1000. A-Eon, Hyperion, the "Friedens",  and the whole OS 4 team. How dare you belittle the effort of this group  with your snug arrogance?

even though all this was said previously, acube are still in business and are making a new board to sell. i think that says alot.

Acube is a real company, with a real products and real support and warranty. I think they have earned the respect of Amigans, not just OS4 users. MorphOS users might not be interested in the product, but I doubt you will see them badmouthing the company (unlike a certain other company, or 2).
