3D was CPU intensive.  The amiga was never just about the CPU,


Maybe not "just" but in the mid / late 90's it was getting tiresome to have my acclerated Amiga 1200 switched on through out the night rendering the most a simple low resolution animation in Imagine. Boy, I wanted a "fast/faster" Amiga back then. I really started to feel back then how Amiga was not going to go anywhere at that time with all the promises hopes and so on.
AmigaOS or MorphOS on x86 would sell orders of magnitude more than the current, hardware-intensive solutions. And they\\\'d go faster. --D.Haynie
