I agree with BrianK on this...

The G5 is a must. I see Bobsonsirjonny's point that there needs to be a userbase big enough to make it practical for such hardware, but this is the chicken and the egg factor, future Amiga users won't take the plunge if they don't see any performance advantage in Amiga hardware versus PC hardware. Yeah we know that AOS is light and fast, but that only covers part of the problem. People are hungry for CPU power and speed and the G5 can deliver exactly what they want. The G3s and G4s are great and hold their own, but they're getting long in the tooth as far as the tech geeks are concerned.

Low end Amiga hardware can sustain using G3s and G4s for awhile, but we need to have a high end machine and that machine needs a G5 under the hood.
