- Excuse me, but where did you get that from? Sam Tramiel stated in the
- GEnie conference a long time ago that it has a 32-bit bus. Also,
- somebody tested Falcon with QIndex and got 471% for the CPU memory
- test, compared to a normal ST. I don't see how this could be possible
- with a 16-bit bus. So please tell me (us) where this information came
- from?
