The ability to swap CPU cards is nice, but not that impressive since you cannot use off the shelf CPU cards from third parties. If bPlan is as tight with information as DCE appears to be, I doubt anyone will be making any CPU cards other than bPlan. Until OS 4.0 supports Altivec or SMP, I don't see any value in anything better than a G3 at this point in time. Based on the history of Amiga hardware holding it's value, I'm not worried about reselling an AmigaOne on ebay or trading it in for an XE if/when it comes out. For a board that has relatively little different from the AmigaOne, it's hard to understand what the fuss is over. Firewire and a CPU slot? It's amazing that something so trivial has caused such a split. No sense blaming anyone. If you're attracted to the hardware and want the bPlan, buy it and run MorphOS....if you want to run OS 4.0....buy an Eyetech. Do you really think that OS 4.0 will be that much better on the bPlan machine over the Eyetech board? On the same speed CPU's I'm not expecting much difference in performance. The boards have the same Southbridge from what I can tell, not quite sure what Northbridge the bPlan folks are using, but it looks like it's in the same chip package as the MAI chip although they claim it isn't. The Eyetech AmigaOne isn't a Teron CX either...just close cousins.
