- Not everbody has trouble with Cybervision. I just plugged it in, hit the
- 'install' icon, rebooted and got blown away by the speed!
-
- The CV64 is VERY fast!
- Running WB in 800x600x256 is many times faster than AGA in 16 colours.
- Photogenics in 1024x768x16bit is wonderful!
-
- If you are interested in the results I got when I used WSpeed to compare
- it with AGA, just email me.
