- Sounds like you are the one lacking a clue.
-
- The average processing power of an Amiga is a 68020 at 14Mhz. There
- are some Amigas that are faster, but they are offset by the huge numbers
- of 68000 Amigas.
- The average processing power of a Mac is a 60Mhz PowerPC 601; sure, there
- are lots of 68030 and 68040 Macs, but there are also lots of 120Mhz
- PowerPC604-based Macs.
-
- Thus, to say that an Amiga (or a typical Amiga) can run Mac software as
- fast or faster than a typical Mac is nuts.
