- Actually I was just trying to placate the multiple SE/30 users who informed
- me that this was the case after I posted an article saying the comparisons
- I've seen show them about equal. I'm told that onboard video degrades the
- si's performance. Actually I was just wondering about that point too. In
- comparing the si to the SE/30, one should set the si's display for 1-bit mode,
- since that's what the SE/30 has. You also need to take into account the fact
- that the si is refreshing a 640x480 bitmap and the SE/30 only has 512x342.
-
- I would be interested to see any real data on how the machines compare rather
- than "my dog's better than your dog" articles.
