Always nice to see new hardware development for the Amiga, but I really do wonder what everybody is running on hardware that powerful. Personally I don't have any interest in the newer OS's and software and I have my A1200 running 3.1 with a Blizzard 1230 IV accelerator, it handles the classics flawlessly and I've got enough RAM for WHDload now.

There are quite a few videos on YouTube showing people doing different things with Vampire accelerators, just search for "Vampire Amiga". So far the most technically impressive is probably the video player (technically impressive considering the hardware it's running on). Also, whilst the A1200 had a decent range of accelerators released for it, it wasn't the same for the A500 and A600. My personal favourite demo is this Cannnonball video. Cannonball is basically an open-source engine for Outrun. Aside from needing to create an Amiga version of the soundtrack, the game runs fairly smoothly without modifications: http://youtu.be/NWLztVtxJuU http://youtu.be/NWLztVtxJuU For comparison, this is the original Amiga port: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eOGxxYm4z5I https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eOGxxYm4z5I The best Outrun-style games for the Amiga before now was probably the Lotus series: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SUoVoCc04GA https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SUoVoCc04GA

SYSINFO, that is the sole purpose of Amiga hardware accelerators these days.
