Currently the Lite board has the same features as the full version, apart the CPU which is clocked at 1 Ghz (1017.5 Mhz to be exact) and the PCI bus which is a little bit faster.

So I'm guessing these are boards that they couldn't get to overclock to 1.15 GHz.

Well, for one thing its running at a straight 1Ghz, and it appears to come with less memory.

All in all, still a nice system. I don't think 599 euros is too much.

I don't think the SAMs have AltiVec.

I usually do not talk about those so-called next gen amiga as it is not my stuff, but this thing is outrageously overpriced for yet outdated modern hardware, don't you think?

@Xanxi

The point is that ACube is offering the Sam460ex - Lite version for a lower price than the original Sam460ex. The Lite version has slightly lower clock speed and less RAM memory, but can be upgraded to the full 2GB of RAM at a later date, whenever the user is ready to do so. This simply gives another choice for anyone who is interested in OS4.

This price is certainly much less than I paid in 2004 for my MicroA1 motherboard bundled with OS4.
