What about an A1200 accelerator with built-in USB 2.0?

PA6T uses more than 7W at 2ghz, heck it uses more at lower frequencies even. According to pretty much every source online at 2ghz it has a TDP of 25W. I was quite surprised by this actually, as this power consumption/heat disappation has now been somewhat surpassed by often criticised x86 cpus (bulldozer variant Llano, AMD current generation cpu for example is significantly faster and proportionally significantly lower consumption while including an HD 6xxx class gpu ondie).
Include a gpu (even a mobile variant), ram, etc. onboard, and suddenly there's little hope of an accelerator card for a1200 even being possible unless it's towered.

And then what's the point of keeping the 1200 MB since most components would be replaced... ?

Original chipset ? Well first it's likely you'll need a second monitor (or at least a new port in your exisiting monitor) to handle original resolutions.. It's not very easy to use. UAE would be much better, and then there's no need for the slow, big 1200 MB.

Sorry for being off topic, but one of the posts here made me think of it.
Does os4.x for classic even support the custom chipset in a way that its possible to use custom chipset based software ? I know AGA is "supported", but in what manner ? Im under the impression its only usable as a basic gfx display (ie. akin to a weak gfx card)

 
OS4 does not support the custom chipset at all as the 68k chip is switched off.  Whole OS run on the PPC.
 
You have to run classic games and hardware banging apps in EUAE the same as on MorphOS.
 
If you want to run classic games there is no point in running os4

I'm still waiting for a 060 accelerator.  :angry:

yes, this is how i remember it to be.

@JJ and wawrzon

I thought so, but had never seen it written in a clear cut manner before.
Each to thier owm and whatnot, but this is part of why os3.x still appeals to me. While I can appreciate a more "advanced" system, there's appeal in seeing what you can do with the custom chipset hardware for me. Theyre like 2 different sides of the same hobby. Between Amithlon and my classic amiga I'm pretty happy
