- Aren't they both CISC anyway. If you want to compare business production
- performance then compare the MicroSoft Applications for each. If you want
- to compare raw processing performance then compare your 68xxx with a
- 400MHz 21164a. If you want to show off your graphics then try it against
- an SGI Indy 2.

- Amigas simply don't match up on any count.
