A-EON: AmigaOne X1000 FAQ, part 3
In the second part of the FAQ on the AmigaOne X1000 some questions about the configuration were answered: The graphic board will be an ATI-product with R700-chipset and the "Common Firmware Environment" will be used as BIOS. There will be only complete systems with only one configuration.
Currently AmigaOS 4 cannot support the second processor core but this will follow with a forthcoming update of the operating system.
