If the AmigaONE makes it to production and sells more than 10,000 units I will be 
surprised.
 
The AmigaONE uses the MAI Logic Articia S northbridge, the same as it's competitor, 
the Pegasos. The AmigaONE uses the VIA82C686A southbridge.

Oh the MAI Logic chip provides AGP 2X and 66 MHz 32 bit PCI.
