- Ever seen an A3000? 32 bit bus, 7.09 MHz clockrate... ;-((
- ECS in A2000 is quite useless...but even AGA is useless for non-game GFX...
- Let`s discuss S3, ETxxxx, Tiga, NCR and other...
-
- 1x, 2x, 4x ....it`s too slow even if it`s 4 times too slow...

- monochrome:-(( it`s nice as a demo, but what else?
