- The 68060 is a very nice processor, IMHO. It performs nice if there is a
- good design around it...even the 040 does.
- Amigas with 060 perform much better than pentiums...as you said before
- you need an extremly fast CPU to play games on PCs or run Wintendo
- due bad design;-((
- But nobody needs a 060 for playing games on Amiga...
