what YOU think the g800 specs should/will be

[Marshmallowman]

The features I think are essential for the g800.

I think it is essential that it actually exists/available.

while in it current form(according to everyones imagination) it can beat the geforce 3, supports 4 montiters, does not need any drivers(;-) thats a good one)
and has a pretty blue heatsink, with a nice spiral painted on the fan(hypnotic like)

but when the real one comes we probably will be disappointd(even if does kick arse), because our imagination have gone off the deep end.

I would settle for one that I can hold in my hands(or agp slot)

That particular comment was posted by Fleecy Moss (Amiga representative - fleecy@amiga.com ) on Wednesday, Jul 26, 2000

We had bets in the office about how this announcement would be turned
into another failure for Amiga.

We went upto Montreal and spent a whole day in their development labs.
We saw the G800, and we saw the stuff that they are working on past
that. They are going a very different way, placing a strong emphasis
on staying up there with Polygon Pushing whilst adding features that
make the 3D experience far more realistic - and no, it isn't more
polygons.

In addition, they have the best video hardware, something that
Amigans have demanded from us from the outset.

Some of the reasons why.</font>

I wonder what those other reasons might be ?
