- I'm running System 7 on a Quadra 950 (68040 @33mhz) and it is definitely
- faster than my old 1040ST with rainbow TOS. :-)
-
- I also run OS/2 on my 486 box and it is also faster than my old
- 1040ST by a long shot.
-
- I'll be honest with you, I've never used a TT or Falcon, but I
- cannot imagine that either surpases current Mac/PC clone speed.
- Unless an Atari computer can beat the current PC/Mac lock on
- price/performance, they are just toys.
