- Sure... Read last Amiga Shopper (or was it Amiga Format?!). It has a review on
- a Cyberstorm 060 (or something like that) and they have some comparison tests
- (Lightwave included). I don't think it will pass a Pentium, but it will be
- pretty close and you still have a nice OS and graphics capability.
-
- Besides, if you buy a Pentium RIGHT NOW, it will be obsolete as soon as you
- unpack it!!! I Have my A4000 since 1993 and I still use it and WILL use for
- one or two more years. In the same year, a friend of mine bought a very nice
- PC at the time... He switched computers twice since then!!!
