- Well, if it has a new CDromdrive it would help. Still i think that the
- filesystem on Amiga/CD32 must be slow, the Playstation loads much faster,
- although it also have a 2xspeed drive.
- A 040 or at least a 030/40 mhz prosessor will help VEEERY much, but only if
- the machine has 4 mb ram (2 mb Chip ram and 4 mb fast).
- Then it will be 5-8 times faster than before, and will be able to handle games
- like Breathless in fullscreenmode, 1x1 pixel! :-)
