From the shoucast audio stream (right now) AmigaDE won't have MP soon. AmigaOS 4.0 will and AmigaDE will use it. 68K will run on emulation. TCPIP PPC native, video drivers Natice: All the system PPC native. It will be developed by haage & partner and Hyperion. Amigaone will be opendesign (drivers). The timeline is by summer time. You need Amigaone for AmigaOS 4.0. USB and firewire will be in AmigaOS 4.2. No Java in AmigaOS 4.0. AmigaOne will ship this summer. First versions won't surpport multiprocessor. AmigaDE Targeted late summer. This is what I understood. There can be some misunderstandings. The are a lot of questions left. The MP subject is not clear, there will be a gradual transition (4, 4.2 ... 5.0). More info will be available on the Amiga website soon. So 1rst AmigaOS 3.9 will benefits from the AmigaOne hardware, then AmigaOS 4.0 will run stand alone on the AmigaOne and then Amiga De will run on top of it.

In reply to Comment 20 (redrumloa):
Uhh, ok Dr. Tom.
Pst, get a clue dude. Motorola is still having major, major problems. A lot of the 700+ PPC's are failing, why not check some of the Mac boards and edumacate yourself.
Not to mention the higher expense of the PPC, but its pretty interesting. Go do us a favor and find theprice of a PPC 750 eh?
For that price, one can easily get a 1000 Mhz TBird and top rated mobo, actually less.
The PIV is a dog at this time, but AMD is killing Intel on the P3/Celeron market.
And, AMD's versions are much better than Intel's P3, at integerand fp.
The -only- place where PPC wins to any extent over P3/AMD is in Photoshop filters. This has been discussed ad nauseum.
Face it people.
Amiga is once again, a "Proprietary Hardware' system.
Isn't this what most of you loons have been screaming about for thepast 6-8 months as causing the downfall of Amiga in the first place?
Damn, they say people get the governemnt they deserve.
That holds true for Amigan's and their computers.
