- Long story ;)

-
- It isn't enough indeed.
- And, since you've to be able to use standard Gfx Boards, the fact that some
- of them support VB doesn't mean that you can write a program for everybody
- that uses VB. You've to consider only the things that *any* GfxBoard has.
- Quite nothing.
-
- >Ok, WritePixel isn't fast, then patch it!
-
- Just only the JSR/RTS is times slower than my "WritePixel" routine.
- And, "just remove JSR/RTS" means "dont use the OS".
-
- >Nice speces for being that useless... :-)
- >Real world tests has proven that the speed of WindowsNT on a 133Mhz PPC
- >is running circles around a 133MHz Pentium system.
-
- Couldn't it be because these OS's are crap and written all in C++? ;)
-
- >I know nothing about this 3DO chipset, is it expensive?
-
- How could it be? It's already sold in 3DO cheaply.
-
- >Is it as fast as PSX?
-
- It's extremely better. BTW: PSX has a lot of custom chips, and with a x4 CDROM
- and 4Mb ram it's still much cheaper than a undexpanded A1200.
-
- >The new amigas should have some sort of 3D hardware!
-
- I dont agree at all.
- They would become obsolete in 1-2 years.
-
- What they need to have is a flexible/versatile structure, to allow coders
- create new functions tomorrow that can't be foresee today, all with the
- same cheap (but flexible) hardware.

- Some can be more than others, right? :|

-
- >"Hejdσ" = "Bye"
-
- ok, sorry for using a non-English language in Usenet ;) I understand.
