On some poor monitors/TV's you may see a difference in the composite output, but the answer is an RBG / VGA monitor; use the former for C64's and the like and the latter on Amiga's and such.

I'm not sure this thread is oriented to the 7.14MHz CPU clock speed of the 68000 or why it was chosen.

Yep, this thread has gone definately off topic (as to a genlock improving the video signal)

Quote from: psxphill; The Amiga chipset can synchronise it's output to an external video source, so the genlock is actually internal.[/QUOTE

 This refers to the CPU being clocked so as to coordinate the video output for mixing, plus other uses.  Or did you not know that is why the CPU runs at an "odd" speed?

Uh, we'll that's a point, but the video timing was set around the clock speed (well vise-versa) and that is why the guys at Newtek chose the Amiga as the Toaster platform. I personally thought you knew that, but I'm sorry to imply otherwise. Let's drop the discussion as it does not relate to the thread. If you like, just start a new thread about the Amiga's development and engineering choices.
