An Amiga 500 could smoothly scroll text vertically across a screen. An A500 ran with a CPU running at around 7MHz. A PC running windows with a CPU in excess of 2000Mhz doesn't seem to be capable of this feet why it that?
what's more is a A500 could not only do this completely smoothly but also run colour effects over that text and bounce it up and down or make it follow a sine wave curve.
The simple answer? It can. I play multiple layers of uncompressed D1 video, or compressed HD video with over a dozen tracks of audio all synced together even running the monstrous OS that is Windows XP. And that same Windows system can boot Winuae and run all your amiga programs. Its not been a horsepower issue for a long time, there have been software problems, but frankly they've been resolved a long time ago.
