What shouldn't be forget: a G3/G4 card does only make sense in conjunction
with graphics boards. I would even say they do only make sense in conjunction
with *fast* graphics boards (>Z3). Otherwise the difference in processing
power between today's processors and G3/G4 gets lost/wasted. I also ask
myself whether the classic AMIGA hardware architecture really can handle
this level of processing power anymore.
If those PPC-only boards came out 2-3 years ago it would have been a great
thing. Now I fear that they come too late.
