in fact, I see very little progress in PC world
yeah, the video processing and the 3d stuff is a lot faster nowadays, but that's about it.

Thing is, my 386 starts quicker (with all drivers loaded and so) than my Sempron2200+, either with w98 or winxp

pha, nowadays the new atlon64 seems to be new, but Commodore had more than 20 years ago already a Commodore64!

One could say the Atari Jaguar is 64 bits or 16 bits (since it's powered by a kinda 64 bits Tom GPU and a 16 bits MC68000 CPU

Quite the same can be said about the Dreamcast, that proc ranges from 16 'till 128 bits.
Rather look at the amount of polygons per second, MIPS and special graphic features (like texture filtering, and so)

fact is, both systems (+jaguar cd unit) I got in my posession :-D :-D :-D
