No benchmarks by a third party have ever shown an increase that they claim. I mean it sounds cool but that's marketing for you, I feel bad for the people that get suckered into buying these.

Not to mention that the vast majority of the benchmarks show it makes little to no difference on FPS we are talking tenths of a frame. And people using the card couldn't tell the difference. Only time people found this card useful was running 3 or 4 torrents at the same time and still the difference wasn't great enough to warrant the price, you'd be better off having two $30 NIC's rather than that overpriced piece of crap.

I know my argument has little to do with it's application in an Amiga type system, but if it doesn't make a difference to a $2-3k machine I don't know why it would be useful in a AmigaOne or Sam.

Thanks for the update guys. Can't wait to get everything setup and ready to go.

Still patiently waiting for some news.

I figure that another QA batch hasn't shipped yet.

Amigakit updated their page.

They say that they are going to be receiving a small batch of boards on Fri 19th.

Great news!

I was hoping to see my Sam before Christmas, this makes it sound more likely.

Yeah I saw that they moved the date again.

While I have lots of other toys to play around with, I was hoping to start my AOS 4 experience sometime in the near future.

I hope it's worth waiting for, what would really irk me is if I received it in a couple months then they announced new hardware soon after.

It's nice to see you guys keeping the community updated on the situation.

I'm always hacking around with Linux on all my boxes. It must be something with the built in video. Maybe the firmware isn't passing the right arguments about the monitor to Debian, but there is always a workaround.

But just like said above I'll have to wait until my board gets shipped to me to test it out.

Hi guys, my first post.

I just ordered a Sam440EP from Amigakit.

I'm gonna give this thing a try myself as well, might do thing a bit different and modify the case with a slot load DVD drive on the side. I'll have to tinker around when I get it.

Thanks for the links from the last thread now when I go to purchase the parts I'll know where to look.
