- For their specific task (ie running cable tv software) you can't get
- better than AGA. That's why any future Amiga must at least contain an AGA
- chipset as standard.
-
- But for 95% of real-life applications, AGA isn't better than an SVGA
- chipset, it's far far worse. With both chipsets you get the best system
- for 100% of real-life applications.
-
- Or do you want a computer that's only good for Scala, demo coders and the
- odd 2d game?
