It *appears* to be faster than a real Amiga..but this is due to the native DirectX
driver P96 emulation...in actual integer speed etc. It`s little better than an
040....and as most Amiga users surely already have a graphics card and not AGA..then
it`s slower ;-)
I reckon we need 1.5GHz..or, most likely, a higher FSB would help lots more.
