IMHO anyone expecting to see the words "low price" & "Amiga" in the same sentence these days needs their head looking at :) . We simply don't sell the vast quantity of (Amiga-specific) hardware needed to reduce design/testing costs to nothing per sale. (We'd have to use generic ARM or x86 hardware, and only AROS can do that.)
About the best we can hope for is "slightly expensive" but also "worth it because of the Amiga". I don't think there is any chance of this mobo costing anywhere near that of a Sam440, so if someone thinks a Sam440 is expensive, then this new mobo is going to seem extortionate (although it will probably still get better "bang per buck", due to having two cores each running at 2-3 times the speed of the Sam440).
The Sam440 is a great "entry level" machine, especially once Update 1 gets released (come on guys!).

Low cost systems can come along later, but if my suspicions are right we may see again the buzz around Amiga for good reasons again which were lost in the early nineties.
Fingers crossed.
Well, we've had a few people sign up to this site over the last day or so, and there are more people visiting this site than normal, so there's definitely some buzz right now.
