- From what I've witnessed, the Amiga's ECS sound still beats the
- SoundBlaster... But the new AA chipset also to be installed on the 4000
- (and available for the lower machines) will have enhanced sound, a DSP
- chip, (digital Sound processor from AT&T), as well as enhanced graphics
- (256,000+ colors and a 256,000 color HAM mode(256,000 colors on screen
- at once... without ham, prob. 256).
-
- And, supposedly the Amiga 4000 will be in the price range of about
- $2000, with which you add your own CPU (whatever you can afford).

- Besides, who wants to be stuck with out of date technology (PeeCees)
