- Gee, if the PowerPC is the WORST RISC CPU, then the others must REALLY
- be fantastic! I just read today in one of the console videogame magazines
- that Sega unveiled their Model 3 arcade board at a recent arcade trade show.
- They said it totally blew away everyone that saw it running Virtua Fighter3.
- It is supposed to be out around September. Oh, and the CPU that Sega chose
- for their Model 3 board is the "worst RISC available", the PPC 603e...
- So I hope you will understand when you say that the PPC isn't even good
- enough for a home computer when Sega has shown it is capable of running the
- most advanced arcade system, that I find it hard to believe that you know
- what you are talking about.
