- Ok, Amigas are more expensive to manifacture as PC's. Why ? Because they have
- the chipset. The chipset is worth nothing if is not up-to-date. Just waste of
- money if we have to buy graphic cards.
- But if the chipset is up to date it just does what pc's cards do, or may be
- better. In that case to run an updated pc you must add some cards, and the price
- goes up. That's why some years ago Amigas were cheap compared to other machines.
- They still can be cheap, but only if you have everything on the basic configurartion
- and you dont need to pay old chips just before adding extra cards.
