Yes, you read this correctly. Finally new hardware is being made to run OS4.1!!!
This is being made by acube systems. The same company who are making the minimig. You can check their site out at http://www.acube-systems.biz/eng/index.php
The hardware is the Sam440ep Using an Soc AMCC 440ep processor (PPC processor and System on a Chip, produced my AMCC under license from IBM), with an integrated DDR memory controller (512MB max), PCI controller, Flash memory device control, USB 1 and 2 controller, Ethernet, serial ports etc... and in a miniITX form factor with integrated ATI Radeon Mobility M9 with 64MB graphics memory. So it looks like we will finally have some hardware that will be worth running OS4 on.
And this is only the first motherboard to be mad. They are planning to make better models under the SAM name.
The current promotional prices for the board until thr end of September are:
€332 for a 533Mhz CPU, 512MB Ram, ATI Radeon M9 64MB and Audio 5.1
€489 for a 667MHz CPU, and everything else the same.
