@BrianK

The impresion I get from Hyperion is that they REALLY know what they are doing and when they designed this they did it in such a way that it would be easy to add features like this in the future, dunno why, I just do.
G3's and G4's are allready starting to look out of date, and I don't just mean in terms of megahertz. 64bit has been commonplace on the desktop a while now and processors are all moving to 90nm. It took motorola long enough to move to 130nm! The rumoured IBM 750VX (G3 + Altivec = G4!) is meant to be fabbd using 90nm.
We won't see taht on an AmigaFive, at least not unitl I can find someone who makes the chips or convince myself to buy a the specification from the PCI-SIG and learn how to design chips ;). We don't really need it anyway, for now AGP 8x will still do, it's beter than the AGP 2x on current boards.
In that case I shall make it round like a G4 iMac logic board ;)
