True, but the AmigaOne X1000 system is specified by A-Eon with R700:

Only in cases where latency has more impact than bandwidth.

True :-)

How does that matter when the X1000 already comes with it pre-installed? I take it AmigaKit have stocked at least as many of those cards as A-Eon have PA6T chips in their possession ;-)
