In console gaming terms, OCS/ECS would be 16-bit, AGA 32-bit. Those terms lost their meaning with the release of the SNES/Super Famicom, but that didn't stop marketing departments from using them.

My GPU has a 448-bit bus, I wouldn't call it a 448-bit machine ;)


If it were being marketed circa 1990....
