http://www.ppcnux.de/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=6531 has listed current prices for ibm's 970 processors. They are surprisingly cheap. Where's the OSW now?

The 970FX 1 GHz starts @ 86.70 US$, the 970MP 1.2 GHz starts @ 187.20 US$.
the low energy 970MP 2.5 GHz is 385.39 US$.

Sounds intresting, not to expensive. So where is the OSW?

But even more where is a "Peg 2" on steriods (sp?) or a pegasos 2.5 G5 with better Memory speeds and so one. A single G5 unit might be easier to port MorphOS to which would be nice ;)

It is ready as soon as you order the first 2500 OSW

The second option is you choose the CPU you want in the OSW and lend the money for 5000 pieces to Genesi/Bplan:
For example if you pick up an IBM 970MP 2 Ghz low power 5000 pieces cost is $1.5 Million ...

If I had that money I would not hesitate :) or mayby I would...

but confess that it would be fun to be able to run a cheap G5 machine with MorphOS

i suppose, these prices will rise up, because the main customer, apple, stopped to buy/use them...

Bye, MarK.

Or maybe they have a load of xxx.xxx chips they have no other way to get rid of now that Apple switched to x86 earlier than planned.

The other way round:
They lowered the prices, because Apple left PowerPC.
