The AmigaONE is the next step for the Amiga computer platform, developed by Amiga and Eyetech ltd, to provide the current Amiga market a PPC based, true next generation solution. Its been a long time coming, but it finally has arrived. Following is a list of the features and details of the AmigaOne XE.
Power PC is the future...
The AmigaOne XE has got too much power
with the choice of either having a G3 or a G4 both running at a clock speed of
800Mhz! The main differences between the AmigaONE G3-SE and the XE is its ability
to upgrading the CPU to even faster speeds at a later date. The board will support
most G4 PPC chips, which currently clock speeds up to 1,500Mhz or 1.5Ghz. If we get
a module update then the CPU connector on the AmigaOne-XE should also support the
new 64bit G5 PPC range. More detail to come later.
Computer Standards Introduced...
Along with introducing the Amiga to new CPU
performance the AmigaOne XE also carries on its board a number of
other new devices/connectors that the classic Amiga never came with, and could only
be supplied thought the use of hacks. PCI, AGP, USB and more are things
that PC & Mac owners have had for years, now finally the Amiga will
have access to them too. With these computer standards connection on the A1
motherboard, the Amiga world can finally have the access to the
computer market range of hardware, like GFX cards (Matrox, Vodoo),
Soundcards (SoundBlaster pro), Network cards etc.. the list is
endless.
Everything has been advance!
Not only will the AmigaOne offer, true PPC performance,
and give new devices, but it also gives Amiga users access to the fastest
ram there is, faster & larger hard drives, and faster network ability,
everything has been advance! The grate thing is you can design your own
dream Amiga easily, compared to the classic Amigas.
New OS, New Designs, New Future!
The AmigaONE XE will truly change
what the Amiga use to be, but in the process change it to something grater.
When the AmigaOS finally takes full advantage of what the A1 offers, this
will truly be a powerful computer system, read more on the AmigaOS
here. The official tower
picked for the AmigaOne is much better deign than most PC's. We have got a
real chance of bring the Amiga back to where it belongs with this first
system.
